Organic Cucumber, Armenian (1/4 lb)

Cucumber - Armenian - Cucumis melo (flexuosus group)

Tender annual Heirloom. Introduced from Armenia to Italy in the 1400s, this unusual and attractive 12"-18" cucumber is always sweet and crispy, even when fruit is large. Thin-skinned with dense flesh, few seeds, and a pleasant, mild flavor, it is perfect for the fresh market. Handle carefully to avoid bruising. Thrives in hot weather.
