Description
A white-skinned cucumber with a smooth taste. A hundred years ago, white cucumbers (just like yellow and orange ones) were not uncommon at all. This ancient variety is suitable as a field crop and for greenhouse cultivation.
The old variety is robust and little susceptible to illnesses. Its approx. 20cm long fruits ripen from pale green to white and have a defined but, at the same time, mild cucumber taste that shows to advantage in salads and on sandwiches. It's also suitable as a gherkin.

sind sie genießbar?
Ich habe das Gurkenset zu Weihnachten bekommen und habe sie liebevoll aufgezogen. Von den White Wonder bin ich jedoch sehr enttäuscht, da jede einzelne Gurke bitter schmeckt. Ich frage mich, ob diese überhaupt für den Verzehr geeignet sind.
Auch wenn die Gurken sehr schön aussehen, aber bisher habe ich noch keine Einzige meiner geernteten Gurken essen können.
