(Cucumis sativus) Our dear friend and coworker, Rio takes issue with white vegetables deeming them suspicious in nature and therefore probably barely palatable at best. Well, we changed her mind with Snow White tomatoes (magnificent!) and are keen to change it again with this creamy white cucumber. Firstly it should be noted that these are never bitter and they have a crisp texture and mild pleasant flavor. They are prolific producers through late summer, resist powdery mildew and grow to 6-8” long and approximately 2” in width. Bred at Cornell University.
