Italian Cucumber Carosello Medio Heirloom Seeds - 10 Seeds - Organic, Natural Farming

CUCUMBER MELON
CAROSELLO MEDIO LUNGO PUGLIESE
Southern Italian Cucumber-Melon
This is a packet of 10 seeds for Carosello Medio Lungo Pugliese.

This is the Carosello, a recommended vegetable from Italy.
It's a melon-cucumber that pairs perfectly with prosciutto.
Its flesh is soft, slightly sweet, and has a luxurious feel,
like an unripe local melon. It's sold not only in Southern Italy but
throughout Italy in the summer as the Special Cucumber of Puglia.

The fruit is oval-shaped, about 10cm long, and its skin is covered in fine hairs like a peach.
The flesh is white-green, with a pleasant flavor and good texture.
This is a unique summer vegetable that has been cultivated in Southern Italy, especially Puglia, for a long time.
This is the elongated variety of Carosello, not the round type.
It tastes like a cross between a Japanese cucumber and a melon.

The skin has fine hairs, similar to a peach's skin,
but they can be easily removed by washing.
This is a unique variety highly recommended for salads to accompany summer pasta!

In Italy, it seems they are harvested young and eaten as a cucumber,
or allowed to ripen and eaten like a melon.
While its sugar content is lower than Japanese melons,
pairing it stylishly with prosciutto will give you an Italian feel.

It has a different aroma from regular cucumbers,
adding a unique twist to salads!
This is the variety for Puglian-style summer salads.
