Description
Salt and Pepper Cucumber produces high yields of eye-catching, light yellow, 3-5″ fruits that pack an impressive sweetness and crunch. Chefs, csa members, and market customers love its flavor and thin skin that lacks the bitterness of the standard grocery store cucumber. Ideal for fresh snacking with a size, texture, and unique color that also make them a great addition to any pickle batch. Bred by Jason Cavatorta and Molly Jahn of Cornell University and chosen as a 2011 Green Thumb Award Winner. Grown by Saltwater Seeds.
