Midi cucumbers in greenhouses
The perfect balance between convenience and flavor — 15–25 cm fruit that thrives year-round in precisely managed greenhouse environments, built for multipacks and the mid-market.
Convenience meets flavor
Midi cucumbers hit the size consumers actually finish: 15–25 cm, versatile for salads and snacking, with moderate shelf life and steady demand in retail multipacks. On high-wire hydroponic systems they cycle nearly as fast as long cucumbers, with the same responsiveness to humidity and light — precise management is what keeps quality uniform through every flush.
