Cucumber
Cucumbers are a refreshing summer vegetable known for their crisp texture, high water content, and mild, clean flavor. Although botanically a fruit, cucumbers are commonly used as a vegetable in salads, pickles, and savory dishes.
Many varieties are grown in the Northeast, including slicing cucumbers, pickling cucumbers, Persian cucumbers, and specialty varieties. Cucumbers range from smooth-skinned to bumpy varieties and may vary in size, color, and flavor.
