Description
Locally grown in our Woburn Greenhouses, Uncle Mike’s Mexican Sour Gherkin Cucamelon is a unique, grape-sized fruit that looks like a miniature watermelon but tastes like a cucumber with a hint of citrus. Easy to grow and vigorous like traditional cucumbers, these bite-sized delights can be eaten fresh off the vine, tossed into salads, or even used as a fun garnish in cocktails. Perfect for containers or garden beds, cucamelons are a low-maintenance, high-yielding addition to any home garden.
