Lemon Cucumber

Cucumber

Cucumis sativus

Overview
Lemon Cucumber is a unique heirloom variety that produces small, round, lemon-yellow fruits, each weighing 2-3 ounces. These diminutive cucumbers reach maturity in 65 days and are immediately recognizable by their distinctive pale yellow color and slightly bumpy skin. Unlike standard slicing cucumbers, Lemon Cucumbers are prized for their exceptionally sweet, mild, and crisp flavor with complete absence of bitterness. The refreshing taste makes them ideal for fresh eating straight from the garden, salads, and light snacking. Their compact size and prolific production on vigorous vines make them a favorite among home gardeners.
