Description
Striped Armenian is a cucumber-like melon grown and eaten as a cucumber, with long ribbed fruits marked in pale and dark green stripes. The skin is thin and tender, the flesh crisp and mild, and the shape brings a little serpentine beauty to the summer garden.
Harvest young for the best crunch, usually before the fruits grow oversized. Sliced fresh, tucked into salads, or served cold on a hot day, Striped Armenian offers the clean refreshment of cucumber with a look that feels wonderfully old and unusual.
