Cucumber 'Dragon Egg'

'Dragon Egg' cucumber is aptly named with pearly-white, egg-shaped fruits that are fantastic for slicing. The mild flavor rarely has any bitterness. Like the lemon cucumber, it is too soft for pickling. Enjoy it fresh.

'Dragon Egg' cucumber is a Croatian heirloom.​ It is shown here with 'Gelber Englischer Custard' squash.
