JAPANESE CUCUMBERS, also known as Kyuri (胡瓜・きゅうり), are a popular variety of cucumber known for their slender, elongated shape and dark green skin. They typically measure between 6 to 12 inches in length and have smooth, thin skin that is often slightly bumpy. These cucumbers are prized for their mild, sweet flavor and lack of bitterness.

Japanese cucumbers are low in calories and high in water content, making them a refreshing and hydrating snack. They are also a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber. Their low cucurbitacin levels make them easier to digest and less likely to cause bitterness.

Culinary Uses: Japanese cucumbers are versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways. They are commonly used in salads, pickles, and sushi. Their crisp texture and mild flavor make them perfect for eating raw, but they can also be lightly pickled or used in stir-fries and other cooked dishes.

Storage: For the best quality, fresh Japanese cucumbers should be stored in the refrigerator and used within a week. Their thin skin makes them more delicate than other cucumber varieties, so handle them with care to avoid bruising.
