green

Marketmore is a high-yielding, dark green variety with up to 25 cm long, slender fruits with a nice and bitter-free taste. Unlike the usual cucumbers from the supermarket, the Marketmore shows irregular small bumps – the so-called spines. The plant does well with cold weather conditions and is naturally pest-resistant. Cucumbers are basically a kind of solid mineral water since they’re composed to 97 % of water and also contain valuable ingredients, like potassium, calcium, magnesium and vitamin C. Natural location: The origin of the Marketmore cucumber is still a matter of dispute among experts, but it is presumed somewhere between Africa and India. In the kitchen: You can expect to harvest the cucumbers regularly from the end of July. Ideally, you will be able to pluck fresh cucumbers twice a week until the end of September. Cucumbers are very versatile to use in the kitchen and not only suited for green salads or for garnishing. They go especially well together with dill or mint, and are used in Tabbouleh, Raita and Tzatziki.
