Description

The robust netted cucumbers originally come from Central Asia. They are very aromatic and well suited to the Central European climate. The fruits have a net-like surface similar to that of a netted melon. They are usually harvested when young and green. If they are harvested later, the skin has the typical cracked net structure and is then easier to store. The thick skin and the core are removed before eating.
