  • Fruits stay tender longer than regular cucumbers
  • Excellent for raita, snacks, or cooling salads

Tips from Local Gardeners

  • Train vines off the ground to reduce disease
  • Mulch soil to keep roots cool in summer heat

FAQs

Why are my kakris turning bitter?
Usually caused by heat stress or irregular watering. Keep soil evenly moist and harvest before fruits over-mature.

Why are the fruits turning yellow or thick?
This usually happens when they are left too long on the plant. Pick while young and slim for the best texture.

My plant is flowering but not fruiting — why?
Likely due to poor pollination. Encourage bees or hand-pollinate using a soft brush to transfer pollen between flowers.

Other Names: Kakri, Armenian Cucumber, Snake Melon, Yard-Long Cucumber, ککڑی.
