Cucumber – Lebanese Muncher
$3.99
Native to Israel, the Lebanese-type Muncher cucumber produces a small to medium-sized fruit that is easily digestible and juicy. The skin of Muncher cucumbers is thin, dark green and thornless. Their flavor is excellent, never acidic. They are eaten raw, but are also good candidates for marinades. They are generally harvested at 15-20 cm in length. They can be grown at ground level (but the fruit may bend) or mounted on a stand for straighter fruit.
