The lemon cucumber is mild, with a subtle citrusy undertone.
The lighter yellow cucumbers are younger and therefore have a thinner skin, but they are not as sweet as the older, darker yellow-colored cucumbers. “It’s a matter of preference on when you pick them"
If you cut these in wedges like a lemon, you get an even ratio of skin, seed middle and flesh.
With these being more mild, they might be easier to eat for those who have a hard time eating raw cucumbers.
