A quick botany lesson. Also known as the Armenian cucumber or snake cucumber, the white cucumber is a little oddball who likes to confuse the issue. While it's a cousin of the melon, its thin, light green skin and ribbed appearance make it more similar to a cucumber: same look, same flavor, but in miniature! A pickle, then? Not really. When preserved as such, it has a sweeter taste and a slightly crispy texture that make it unique.

A popular Lebanese snack, this unique pickle enhances your sandwiches and salads. It can even be eaten naked as an aperitif. It's also perfect for accompanying charcuterie boards and raclette. This low-calorie condiment will add freshness and crunch.
