Genus Overview: Cucumbers
Common Name: Cucumber
Long, cylindrical fruits from a creeping vine in the gourd family, known for their crisp, watery flesh and mild flavor, typically eaten green. They have a green skin that can be smooth or spiky and contain soft seeds, though varieties like English cucumbers have thinner skin and fewer, smaller seeds, making them ideal for fresh eating
