An essential part of any British salad, it's a crying shame that the supermarket shelves have been filled with such watery, tasteless cucumbers in recent years. But fear not, our cucumbers are full of flavour with thicker skins that will give your salad real substance. Perfect for the Great British summertime cucumber sandwich!
Country of Origin - UK/Spain
Class - Minimum Class 2
We buy our cucumber from a number of different growers in the UK including Adrian Izzard in Cambridgeshire but during the hungry gap we have to look elsewhere and, luckily for us, our fabulous farmers who provide us with our cherry tomatoes happen to grow really tasty cucumbers too!
Cucumber goes with many salads, and can also be cooked in stirfries if peeled. Cucumber is best kept in the fridge, especially once it has been cut. Seal the end with clingfilm to avoid drying out.
