Uses:

As a member of the gourd family, the cucumber is cylindrical in shape, green-skinned and has edible seeds surrounded by a mild, crisp flesh. The thin skin, unless waxed, does not require peeling. Melissa’s Mini Cucumbers are available year-round out of California and are "burp-less" cucumbers that are practically seedless. Usually eaten raw, Melissa’s Mini Cucumbers are not waxed, so no peeling is necessary. They can be sliced in salads, cut into spears and served with a dip, or used in sandwiches in place of lettuce. Combined with yogurt or sour cream and served with curry dishes, Melissa's Mini Cucumbers may be cooked briefly and added to soups and sauces.

Selection, Storage & Handling:

Melissa's Mini Cucumbers are smaller than regular cucumbers and have an appealing green color. Look for firm, good green color and avoid any cucumbers with soft or yellow spots. Melissa's Mini Cucumbers may be refrigerated up to a week.
