Description

Cucumbers should be an absolute must in any vegetarian diet for its great flavor and high versatility in dishes. Cucumbers are identified by their elongated, cylindrical, and slightly curved shape and full dark green, unwaxed skin. They’re long and thin with very few small white seeds. They are sought after by those with sensitive stomachs as Cucumbers tend to be “burpless,” and can be enjoyed in many ways: butter-steamed, stir-fried or raw.
