Tokiwa Japanese Cucumber Seeds

This Japanese variety is excellent for salads. Cucumbers are long and usually straight when grown on a trellis, about 25cm (10") long and 2cm (1.5") in diameter. Crisp on the outside and more tender inside with a nice clean fresh flavour. No need to peel! Marinate them sliced in rice vinegar dressing for a delicious salad. Superb for pickles and relish. A traditional pickle called kyurizuke is made with sliced cucumbers brined in soy sauce, salt and sugar for 1-2 weeks. Best grown on a trellis. 55-60 days.
