They are typically longer than traditional field cucumbers, and their skin is thinner, making them suitable for eating without peeling. The color of the skin can vary but is often a vibrant green.

What Clients Talk About Us

I ordered a medium vegetable platter and a large fruit platter to be delivered on Sunday.
They were delivered in the morning as requested and the delivery person obligingly came back later with the correct milk as he had brought the wrong one. We were so impressed with the platters. They looked beautiful and everything was fresh and delicious. Thank you very much.
