About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

An old pickling cucumber from the Rhineland that sets its small fruits in grape like clusters, which is where the name comes from. It is robust, heavy cropping and made for growing outdoors; in the bed or on a trellis it supplies you for weeks with material for mustard and spiced pickles. An open pollinated variety from which you can easily save your own seed.

Harvested young it is crisp and mild with a fine spicy note. Ideal pickled sweet and sour, and picked small it also works fresh in a salad.
