Niwaki Japanese Cucumber Kyuri 'Bon Odori' Seeds
Product Description
Grow an authentic taste of Japan with Niwaki Japanese Cucumber Kyuri 'Bon Odori' Seeds.
This traditional Japanese cucumber variety produces slender, smooth-skinned fruits with a crisp texture, refreshing flavour, and natural sweetness that sets them apart from many European cucumber varieties. Kyuri cucumbers are prized in Japanese cuisine for salads, pickling, sushi, and fresh summer dishes. Perfect for vegetable gardens, allotments, raised beds, greenhouses, and kitchen gardens, these cucumber seeds are ideal for gardeners looking to grow high-quality, flavour-packed produce with an international twist.
Part of the carefully curated Niwaki Seeds collection, Kyuri 'Bon Odori' offers gardeners the opportunity to grow a distinctive heirloom-style vegetable with excellent eating quality.
Named after the Japanese Obon Festival, this variety carries a fascinating cultural heritage. Traditionally, cucumbers are used to create symbolic "spirit horses" during the festival, connecting this vegetable to centuries of Japanese customs and traditions.
