English Cucumbers
An English cucumber has thin, soft, edible skin and is narrower and longer than other varieties of cucumbers. They also have a less bitter taste than many other varieties.
You don't have to peel an English cucumber which saves time and increases your fiber.
Attractive Appeal
You can flute the edges of the cucumber with a fork and then slice it for a decorative look for a vegetable tray or salad. They make the perfect garnish to your favorite sandwich dish and add crunch to your salad.
English cucumbers may be as long as two feet (0.61 m) when picked. There are less seeds which adds to the relative sweetness of this variety as the seeds in cucumbers tend to create a bitter taste.
They are sold in a plastic sleeve to protect their delicate skin and to keep their water content in.
Be sure to wash these types of cucumbers more thoroughly than you would with other types since the skin will be eaten.
