Poona Kheera Cucumber

60 days. The creamy, light green fruit has delicious, crisp and juicy flesh. This sweet and mild Indian variety hails from the city of Poonah, or Pune, the cultural capital of the state of Maharashtra, India. There it is popular in salads or juiced, and Pune street vendors sell these as a snack to beat the intense heat. They are simply divine when sliced and sprinkled with a bit of salt and pepper. A potato-shaped fruit with yellow skin, it turns a handsome brown as it ripens. Disease resistant and very hardy. Vines produce early and the yield is very heavy.
