Cucumber Adam
Adamis a refined Beit-Alpha type cucumber – a highly popular, tender Middle Eastern cucumber that consistently produces high-quality, smooth-skinned fruits. Adam does not require pollination to produce fruit, resulting in seedless cucumbers without the need for fertilization. These plants yield high volumes of uniform, slightly ribbed, dark green fruits on medium vines, boasting excellent flavour and texture. The crisp, shiny, and spineless cucumbers maintain a slim profile at 1 ½ inches (4 cm) wide and 5-7 inches (13-18 cm) long. They make great snackers because they have tender skins which do not need to be peeled and can be eaten as is.
