This week’s bag featuring Japanese Cucumbers! 6/21 – 6/23

June 19, 2016 by Oahu Fresh Leave a Comment

This week’s bag features Japanese Cucumbers! There are three varieties of cucumber: slicing, pickling, and burpless. Japanese cucumbers, or Kyuri, are burpless. This means they have a thinner skin and do not have developed seeds. They are sweeter than other cucumbers, with an almost melon-like flavor. Cucumbers contain 96% water and their flesh can be up to 20 degrees cooler than their skin, making it a very refreshing fruit for the summer! What else is in the bag?

Mixed Lettuce – Mari’s Gardens

Eggplant – Ho Farms

Papaya – Kualoa Ranch

Apple Bananas – Kualoa Ranch

Japanese Cucumbers – Ho Farms

Kale – Pacific Gateway Center
