Ethnic/Cultural Info
Persian cucumbers have experienced a surge of popularity in the United States since the late 20th century and are beginning to replace common cucumber varieties at both farmers markets and specialty markets. As consumers are becoming more aware of the different varieties available, they prefer the Persian cucumber's sweet taste, almost seedless flesh, crunchy texture, and versatility compared to the common North American cucumber which has many inedible seeds and a watery taste.
Geography/History
The origin of Persian cucumbers is relatively unknown, but it is believed their cultivation evolved from a kibbutz in northern Israel in 1939. Kibbutz are traditional agricultural communities whose economy is reliant on the crops they collectively raise. Many varieties from India, England, and China were cross-bred to create this almost seedless variety. Today Persian cucumbers are widely available at farmers markets and specialty grocers in Europe, Asia, and the United States.
