European Cucumbers
This popular produce selection often known as the "English Cucumber", or "Hot House Cucumber", has a smooth edible skin. They arrive at the market individually heat-sealed in plastic wrap to seal in freshness and flavor. Just rinse and pat dry and you’re ready to add to your salad. For a very easy and healthy snack for children and adults alike - slice cucumbers into julienne strips and dip in ranch dressing. Another popular way is to season with herbs and lemon juice, leave marinating overnight for a tasty light side dish.

The European Cucumber is grown from special hand picked seeds that produce only female cucumbers. Therefore the European Cucumber has no seeds, which gives the added flavor and texture that is so appealing. They taste sweeter than field-grown cucumbers and are widely used in specialty salsas and salads. Grown in a greenhouse these cucumbers are consistently monitored to provide you with a quality superior cucumber right from the start. To walk through the greenhouse and see how these plants are maintained and grown is simply amazing. We train the plant to grow up, utilizing greenhouse space and giving each plant the ideal amount of sunlight to produce that sun sweet, crisp flavor. North Shore Greenhouses offers these superior cucumbers on a year round basis. Look for the North Shore brand, we're proud to say grown in America.
