Exploding cucumbers

Recommended Posts

Hubby and Kop Boy (son) have bought some exploding cucumber seeds from The Real Seed Company. Apparently, you can't use them until they have exploded and you have to approach them with caution and wearing goggles as they could explode at any time.

 

Sounds mad to me but it's keeping them amused.

No. Sorry, probably explained it badly.

 

The seeds get planted and the plant grows. Then the mini cucumbers develop on the plant. However, they have to explode before you can eat them. If you get too close to the plant when one of the cucumbers explodes you can damage your eyes hence the need for eye protaction. Then, once they seeds have exploded out of the cucumber, the rest of the cucumber can be enjoyed in salads, etc.

 

i know it's weird but they love it. Apparently they taste like sweet pepper.
