organic mini cucumbers
Crunchy and refreshing, our mini cucumbers (also known as Lebanese cucumbers) have a slightly sweet taste and thin peel. They stay fresh for up to 15 days in the refrigerator.
Cucumbers are delicately flavoured and very low in calories. Plus, just one cup (250 ml) has 25% of the daily requirement of vitamin K.
Available format
Six pack only.
Packaging with a freshness purpose
Mini cucumbers are packaged on a tray made of 100% compostable and recyclable paper fibre. They are covered in plastic wrapping that conserves moisture to prolong their shelf life. The identification sticker makes it easier at the cash!
Tips
Keep your mini cucumbers at their best
- Store in the refrigerator at a temperature of 0°C to 4°C, ideally in the crisper section, to avoid the flesh becoming soft and transparent.
- Leave on the plastic wrap to preserve moisture until the minicucumbers are ready to be eaten.
- Do not mist minicucumbers with water.
- Keep minicucumbers and fruits separated–apples, grapes and many other fruits emit ethylene gas that accelerate the ripening process in minicucumbers.
- OCQV Certified
Recycled and recyclable
Plastic wrap protects the cucumbers and conserves moisture to prolong their shelf life. Greenhouse English cucumbers have a thinner, finer peel than field-grown cucumbers, so without packaging, they remain fresh for just two days. The compostable identification sticker makes it easier at the cash.

Q. What's the difference between your mini cucumbers and English cucumbers?A.
The Lebanese cucumber is small, crunchy and slightly sweet, with a smooth, dark skin that can be crunched without peeling.
The English cucumber, on the other hand, is longer and thinner, with a very thin, pale, unwaxed skin. It contains few seeds and offers a softer texture, ideal for thin slices, sandwiches or more classic salads. Two fresh flavors, two different uses - the choice is yours!
