Square Cucumbers

Square Cucumbers1

Look at these square cucumbers! Have you seen these before?

I recently found them at a local supermarket. It was only US $ 1.50 for 3 of them. I found that they are easier to peel and use for cooking than round ones.

Those kinds of special vegetables are called “incubated vegetables”. They are classed as partly organic cucumbers (the sprays don’t touch the vegetables). Apparently, it takes a lot of effort to grow for farmers, because they need to put them individually in a certain place (arrangement, wrapper, padding etc), so they are 10-20% more expensive than regular types. However, these cucumbers stay fresh longer and often taste better.

    In this grand scheme of things you get an A just for effort. Exactly where you confused everybody was in your facts. As people say, details make or break the argument.. And that couldn’t be much more accurate right here. Having said that, permit me say to you what did give good results. The writing can be incredibly convincing which is most likely why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, even though I can certainly see the jumps in reasoning you make, I am not sure of exactly how you seem to unite the details which produce the actual conclusion. For now I will, no doubt yield to your point however hope in the foreseeable future you actually link your facts much better.

    It’s square because they are grown in a “mould”.

    I haven’s seen a square watermelon yet though it seems ridiculously expensive. It’s better to be tasty. :)

    Grace, thank you. How do you survive without having Korean food? I don’t last more than 2 days. :D

    I really enjoy your food blog. I am Korean and live in California but I’ve never really tried to make Korean food until now. Your site has inspired me to start cooking Korean food. Thank you!
