What is English Cucumber?
The English cucumber is a slightly pricier variety of cucumber with thin, green waxy skin and small vertical ridges. This type of cucumber is prized for its small seeds, which make serving and chewing easier and aesthetically pleasing. The pale green flesh is crisp and juicy. Cucumbers are a watery vegetable with a mild and refreshing green flavor. They are best served raw, though some recipes require cooked cucumber.
