Have you ever tried an Armenian cucumber? Despite the name, it’s actually a type of melon that looks and tastes much like a cucumber!

Armenian cucumbers are long, slender and wonderfully crisp, with thin, tender skin and very few seeds. They have a mild, refreshing flavor that makes them perfect for enjoying on a warm summer day.

They’re delicious sliced into salads, added to sandwiches or simply enjoyed on their own for a light and refreshing snack.

If you spot these unique cucumbers at your local farmers market or grocery store, give them a try!
