It’s November and that means the start of the central Mexico region is kicking off their season in the coming days! In Sinaloa, Mexico, the first shipments of cucumbers are expected to be arriving in the first and second weeks of the month and this generally marks as the starting point for Divine Flavor’s late fall/winter greenhouse vegetable program.
Crisp and refreshing, Divine Flavor long English and Persian cucumbers are produced to perfection in our state-of-the-art greenhouses. Organic and Non-GMO, our cucumbers are a delight for snacking, mixing into salads, or for juicing into refreshing drinks.
THE LONG ENGLISH CUCUMBER
Our long English cucumbers, also known as European cucumbers, are a staple to our vegetable line. Starting in November, these long and narrow veggies are produced in a way to achieve that true cucumber flavor throughout. These types of cucumbers are less bitter with a mild flavor which allows consumers to even eat the skins because of its thinness. Remarkably tasty and easy to use, this style of cucumber is a fresh an enjoyable one!
PERSIAN CUCUMBER
The perfect cucumber snack. Seriously! These tasty, bite-sized veggies are great for healthy and delicious snacking. Whether it’s 1, 2, or 3 pieces, these little ones are super low in calories and are great treats if you love the flavor of cucumbers. Because of their unique size, Persian cucumbers pack a wonder flavor and are able to stay fresh for longer periods of time. Produced organically in our wonderful greenhouses in central Mexico, Persian cucumbers are one of our favorite ways to stay satisfied with the snacking sensation.
