Cucumber (Continental)

Description

Continental cucumbers are the long, slender variety that brings crisp freshness and mild flavour to your kitchen year-round. These impressive cucumbers stretch 30-40cm in length with smooth, dark green skin and a consistently cylindrical shape. Their flesh is pale green to white with small, tender seeds running down the centre. Enjoy a clean, refreshing taste that's mild and slightly sweet with none of the bitterness sometimes found in shorter varieties. The flesh delivers a satisfying crunch that holds up well in both raw and lightly cooked preparations. Perfect for fresh salads, sandwiches, and platters where their elegant length makes beautiful ribbon strips or neat rounds. Try them in gazpacho, tzatziki, or simply slice and serve with hummus for a healthy snack. Store in the crisper drawer of your fridge where they'll stay fresh for up to a week. Once cut, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and use within 2-3 days for best quality.
