About This

• Appearance: Cucamelons, or "Mexican sour gherkins," are tiny, grape-sized fruits that look like miniature watermelons, featuring a green skin with white stripes.
• Growth Habit: This perennial vine in its native tropical climates often grows as an annual in cooler regions, sprawling over supports and can reach lengths of 5 to 6 feet, making it ideal for trellises and A frames.
• Culinary Uses: Cucamelons are eaten raw, typically picked when they're young and tender. They have a crisp texture with a flavor that combines cucumber and lime, making them a unique addition to salads, pickles, or as a snack.
• Cultivation: They require full sun and well-drained soil, with regular watering. Cucamelons are relatively easy to grow, making them suitable for home gardens, and they benefit from companion planting with corn or beans.
• Quality: Fresh seeds for the current & following season that originate from a temperature & moisture-controlled facility.
• Quantity: Generous seed counts allow you to share with friends and family or easily store the extras for next season.
