Product Overview
Tasty Green Organic is a Japanese-style cucumber known for its clean, refreshing flavour and light, crisp texture. The skin is thin, the seeds are small, and each bite has a sweet snap that sets it apart from standard slicing cucumbers. The vines produce well without becoming overly vigorous, offering long, slender fruit that stay tender even if they’re picked a little late. Its flavour stays consistently bright and cooling whether you’re adding it to salads, layering it on sandwiches, or eating it fresh from the garden. Certified organic and easy to grow, Tasty Green is an excellent choice for anyone wanting that pure, cool, early-morning cucumber taste.
