Juicy, tender and seedless, these Japanese cucumbers have a rough, stubbled exterior and smooth, cool flesh. Resembling the Kirby variety, the flavor is more assertive than the English cuke, and is made for slicing and tossing with vinaigrette, pickling, or blending into a cold yogurt soup with dill.

Here's what you get:

  • 1 lb of Japanese cucumbers

Cool Hand Cuke

In traditional Chinese medicine, the cucumber is considered a cooling food; it puts out fires in the body. And we can think of more than a few cool ways to put this refreshing cuke to work. After the stubble is rubbed off the skin (which is easy with coarse salt, says Japanese cooking expert Elizabeth Andoh), there is no hint of bitterness. We love these cucumbers chopped in a raita or tsatsiki to temper the heat of spicy Indian or Greek dishes, and shredded and made into a simple salad.
