Organic cucumber - Marketmore

Seeds:  20  / Botanical name:  Cucumis sativus

Not your average supermarket cucumber - delicious with bumps and lumps

Marketmore is a high-yielding, dark green, slender field cucumber, growing up to 25 centimeters long, with a pleasant, bitter-free flavor. Unlike supermarket cucumbers, Marketmore has irregular little protrusions – the so-called spines. Marketmore tolerates cool weather and has a natural resistance to diseases and viruses. Cucumbers are like solid mineral water, as they consist of 97% water and valuable nutrients such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin C.

Natural habitat:  The original habitat is disputed among experts and is thought to be somewhere between Africa and India.

In the kitchen:  You can expect a regular harvest from your cucumber plant starting at the end of June. Ideally, you can harvest fresh cucumbers twice a week until the end of September. Cucumbers are extremely versatile in the kitchen; not only in green salads and as a garnish. They pair particularly well with mint and dill and are an ingredient in tabbouleh, raita, and tzatziki.
