We Found a Really Really BIG Cucumber

For more freakish cucumbers. How about the time I made pickles out of a 2 foot long Armenian cucumber. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl7Ji3t4ZqyfZ7Msi=wejKKsNZEPUVfYOn

I’m a avid cucumber grower(love me some pickles), and my biggest cucumbers were about two thirds that size. Just amazes me how big they can get!

[@SugoDiGatto]

I often ride by a farm, and they sometimes throw out random pumpkins and zucchini; one time, I found 3 yellow/orange cucumbers, they were the biggest I had ever seen (probably 1/3 the size of the one of the video, but very girthy) and I thought they were overripe; nope! Perfectly juicy and crunchy on the inside, with still immature seeds. I had never an immature yellow cucumber!

In Bangladesh, Cucumber gets even bigger. About 1.5 to 2 times the size of cucumbers in this video.

[@FahimMahbub89]

@@poppinc8145 Well, its not available in the internet. But those varieties of cucumbers are readily available in all markets of Dhaka, the Capital of Bangladesh. Those cucumbers are considered lower grade because they don't taste that good like the smaller ones. Hotels and restaurants use these large cucumbers to make salads because they are cheaper.

[@jbomb7867]

I was shocked that it wasn't overripe with huge tough seeds. A lot of cucumber varieties can get pretty big but most suck by the time they're half that size.

[@patriciamorgan6545]

I'm with you, I figured the only thing that cuke was good for was making seeds for the next generation. But I withheld my judgement until he cut it open, because you never know what varieties they grow in Vanuatu. I wish I could grow that here!

[@RoseNZieg]

the weirdest thing is that the variety of huge cucumber that i grow actually has less ripe seeds than you expect from one of its size. you literally have to save quite a few to get enough seeds to survive germination.

[@brendanbrombaugh5700]

Good stuff, for some reason the idea of a giant pickle is hilarious to me

[@crow_feather]

I seem to remember Vlassic doing extra large pickle slices at one point. The idea was that one slice was big enough to cover an entire hamburger. So, not as big as what's in this video, but still a pretty good size! Think they stopped selling them, though, which kinda sucks. I would have loved to have eaten a pickle slice that size!

[@averynelson1186]

What's astonishing to me is that it's not only enormous but also there's nothing wrong with it.

A Greek salad is one slice of cucumber, one slice of tomato, one slice of onion, oliveoil, and one slice of feta. Cucumbers that gets to ripe gets surprisingly big. Even lunch-packet cucumbers. But they can get bitter too. Best to take the rind of.

interesting! are they used in any particular way when they are mature?

[@DanielSPark-by6cm]

@WeirdExplorer Same as with every other plant in Korea, we make either kimchi or namul (*cooked and seasoned veggies) out of them lol. Ripe cucumbers are rarer and more expensive than usual ones because they need more care - they thin out most of the fruits to ensure good growth, and then the remaining fruits will split before ripening if the climate or soil conditions aren't right - but some people love their dense texture. The closest you'll get in terms of texture is watermelon rind, which as well is kimchiable in Korea ofc.
