Hardy on the outside, yet mild, sweet, and crisp on the inside, Tasty Green is resistant to several cucumber diseases like Cucumber Vein Yellowing Virus and Powdery Mildew. It's a Japanese cucumber bred for slicing, and it produces high yields of 8-9" slender, dark green fruits. Slice thinly for a delicious addition to summer salads, or chop finely to bring bright, fresh flavor to a cool tzatziki sauce. If your garden experiences high temperatures and humidity in the summer, this cucumber will be ready for it! It's a "burpless" variety of cucumber, meaning its levels of cucurbitacin (a compound that can create a bitter taste and cause burping) are extremely low. 60 days to maturity.
