English Cucumber

EverydayFresh

English cucumber is a longer, thinner variety of cucumber distinguished by its dark green skin and minimal seeds. Unlike regular cucumbers, it features a milder, less bitter taste due to its thinner, unwaxed skin that doesn't require peeling, making it particularly suitable for fresh consumption. These cucumbers are individually wrapped in plastic when sold to protect their delicate skin, and they offer a crisp texture with high water content and lower calorie density.
