31+ARMENIAN Cucumber THE DUKE Organic No Peel Tzatziki Yogurt Sauce 18-36"+ Long
ARMENIAN CUCUMBER. This unique cucumber was introduced to Italy from Armenia back in the 1400’s. Botanically a melon (C. melo) but looks and tastes like a cucumber! A unique appearance of a slender dark and light green striped body. Never has the bitterness with traditional cucumbers instead this fruit is always crunchy and mild in flavor. Known for having few seeds and no bumps, best of all this fruit does not need to be peeled. A.K.A as the snake cucumber, snake melon, uri and the yard-long cucumber. Usually grows between 12"–18” and maintains its sweetness, even when grown larger! Delicious raw in salads, on sandwiches, in a veggie plater and nice for pickles! Great when trained on a trellis to keep fruit straighter. For tastiest cukes harvest at 12”-18" long. Very productive! 30+ seeds per order.
