WHY I LOVE THIS HEIRLOOM
MUNCHER cucumber is a Lebanese type with smooth, glossy green fruit 12cm long by 2cm across. Like other Lebenese cucumbers this variety has sparse white spines, although these can easily be removed by kitchen scourer. This variety produces heavily on compact vines making these cucumbers excellent for container gardening. These cucumbers are a non-bitter variety and can be eaten at any stage of growth. They make great pickles and is excellent for fresh eating as well. Muncher Burpless Cucumber can be traced back to its parent species, Cucumis sativus, which is believed to have originated in the region of South Asia, including India and Pakistan. First domesticated in ancient times they were grown for their culinary uses as well as for their medicinal properties.
