A very sweet, delicious cucumber that is usually picked small and does not need peeling because the skin is very tender. This variety is very popular in the Mediterranean. Beit Alpha is generally gynoecious (producing mostly female flowers) which means it starts fruiting earlier and is very productive. Now becoming popular with Americans because of the fruits’ fine flavor and high yields. They are also burpless and have a great shelf life. Better tasting than other cucumbers. 50 days
They mature quickly—55 days!—and have a soft, easy-to-eat skin and are burpless. Crunchy, seedless, and full of flavor, Beit Alpha cucumbers are a no-brainer for your vegetable garden. If you pick your cukes as soon as they’re mature, they’ll continue to produce! Good for pickling, slicing, or snacking. 55 days to maturity. Cucumis sativus.
