Persian cucumbers are small, crunchy, and virtually seedless — the superior cucumber for Indian raita, salads, and snacking alongside meals. Less watery than English cucumbers and far crunchier than regular slicing cucumbers. Once you switch to Persian, you do not go back.

The Crunchy Upgrade

• Persian cucumbers — small and seedless
• For raita, kachumber salad, snacking
• Crunchier than regular cucumbers
• Less watery, more flavor

How to Use

Dice for raita with yogurt and cumin. Slice thin for kachumber salad with onion, tomato, and lemon. Eat whole as a crunchy side with any Indian meal.
