Description

The long green cucumber has a fresh, slightly sweet taste with a pleasant crunch and juicy flesh. It is characterized by a thin, smooth skin of intense green color and an elongated shape, often with few large seeds. It is low in calories and mainly consists of water, providing small amounts of vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, which helps with hydration, supports digestion, and contributes to skin and cardiovascular health. In the kitchen, the long cucumber is suitable for salads, sandwiches, cold soups, dips, and pickles, pairing perfectly with yogurt, dill, lemon, and olive oil. To maintain its crunchiness, store it unwashed in the refrigerator in the vegetable drawer or in a perforated bag, away from ethylene-producing fruits like bananas or apples; it is best consumed within 5–7 days.
