They small and slim, very crunchy and great in Greek and other salads. Now available in NYC at Agat and Valentina, Fairway and Union Square from July to September. They are better than gherkins, English cukes, etc.

But I think originally they are of the European strain though I am not certain. At any rate, they are extremely crunchy and yummy! In fact, I just had some at a Japanese restaurant last night… I think they were just lightly salted before serving!
