Thus, the name “hothouse cucumbers.” These cucumbers differ from the field or table variety—they’re known for their elongated, thin, round shape. They have a thinner skin and have a sweeter flavor than those grown in the field. Hothouse cucumbers are burpless and are packed with Vitamins A, C, K and potassium. They can be used in a variety of ways and recipes—everything from used raw for salads and dips, to cooked, grilled and or as a side dish for fish, meat or poultry.
