Rhinish Pickle Cucumber is a cherished heirloom prized for traditional pickling. The vibrant green fruits have a distinct bumpy texture with small black spines and typically grow 3 to 5 inches long, ideal for pickling whole or slicing into spears. Crisp and refreshing, they are best picked young for the crunchiest pickles.
