The Cucamelon  is a fantastic cultural heritage from 1866 and is actually a Mexican watermelon. With its enchanting small oval cucumbers with a sweet and sour taste, the cucamelon has become a great favorite in many homes. In addition to the wonderful green-speckled skin, it is also a fabulous climbing plant that looks very decorative in both greenhouses and on trellises.

The variety is perfect for summer salads, various types of pickling, and even for stir-fry dishes. A hot tip from us at Florea is to use cucamelon in tzatziki. The variety is perfect for that purpose with its sweet and sour taste.
