Woolworths Select Continental Cucumber.
It is long, usually 30?45 cm, and often individually wrapped in plastic because its skin is very soft and is easily damaged. The plastic stops the cucumber drying out and going soft. The cucumber skin does not need peeling. They are often referred to as seedless because when harvested at their best, the seeds are immature or virtually nonexistent.
What to look for
Choose cucumbers with a firm skin and an even colour. The shade of the cucumber is important; a vibrant green colour assures the buyer that the cucumbers have recently come from the vine, while a dull green or yellow indicates age.
