Description:
In ancient times, Roman gardeners grew the ancestors of this fresh, crunchy 8 in earth-filled baskets. A late summer refresher, the Italian cucumber has crisp flesh and few seeds. Round to oval-shaped, with whitish-green fuzzy skin, it’s a beautiful addition to salads, with flavor that holds its own among mixed greens and other garden vegetables. Sliced and served on a plate with fresh tomatoes, a splash of balsamic vinegar and chopped basil, it’s a great beginning to your favorite Mediterranean meal.
