Cucumbers · uncommon
Beth Alpha
A Middle Eastern variety with small, smooth, thin-skinned cucumbers that are perfect for eating whole. Grows well in cooler conditions than most, and the thin skin means no peeling. The cucumber for people who actually want to eat the skin.

Fattoush
Chunk the small cucumbers, toss with tomatoes, radish, mint, parsley, fried pitta shards, sumac, and a lemony dressing. The thin-skinned cucumbers absorb the dressing beautifully. A Middle Eastern salad that puts all other salads to shame.
