Malabar Melon - Malabar Cucumber

Latin name: Cucumis maderaspatensis

Discover Malabar Cucumbers, native to India, offering a unique blend of flavors and textures. With a smooth, taut skin transitioning from light green to golden yellow, these medium to large cucumbers boast a vibrant burnt orange striping when mature. The aqueous, crisp flesh surrounds edible ivory tear-drop-shaped seeds in a gelatinous liquid. Though some find the seeds bitter, their removal reveals a mild, vegetal, and subtly floral flavor. Perfect for cooking, Malabar Cucumbers bring a delightful crunch and watery freshness to your dishes.
