Muncher, Heirloom Cucumber Seeds

Muncher, Heirloom Cucumber Seeds — The Burpless Dual-Purpose Cucumber You Can Eat at Any Stage

Muncher is the cucumber that earns its name. This high-yielding, dual-purpose heirloom makes great pickles and is exceptional for fresh eating right out of the garden — and the best part is you can eat it at any stage of growth without bitterness. Nearly spineless fruits grow 6–8 inches long and a plump 3 inches wide on strong, vigorous vines that produce abundantly through the season. Non-bitter and burpless, Muncher is the cucumber for gardeners who want maximum versatility from a single variety. For pickling, harvest at 4–6 inches; for fresh eating, let them reach full size. 60 days.
