Review of Persian Cucumbers from Trader Joe's

These cucumbers are the only kind my husband and I use in our salads now. They are just that good. These always have a good flavor, whereas occasionally the regular kind will have a 'dirt' flavor, for lack of a better description. These cucumbers are seedless, sweet, and have a thinner skin. They are also a bit smaller, but several come in a container, so that more than makes up the difference. They are available at Trader Joe's for about $4, which isn't bad for the amount that you get.

A few cucumber facts

According to SpecialityProduce.com,
cucumbers are actually fruits, but are generally treated as vegetables. They also claim that the inside of a cucumber can remain 20 degrees cooler than the skin, thus the saying "Cool as a cucumber'.
