My pick this week is Lebanese cucumbers. We are seeing strong supply driven out of the Sydney basin this week. Some warmer night time temperatures has given the crops are push along and the quality is excellent. Lebanese cucumbers are the most commonly produced vegetable in the world. Annual global production now exceeds 60 million tonnes. Here in Australia this product hits its peak for taste and quality in the springtime. They are grown in glasshouses all over the country and become more and more popular every year. The old fashioned green cucumber that my generation grew up with is very close to being a thing of the past. So this week a great product, great quality and great prices for a fantastic spring vegetable.
