Cucumber Straight Eight (Cucumis sativus) is a legendary 1939 All-America Selections winner and long-time heirloom favorite prized for its exceptionally uniform, straight, dark green fruits. Growing to 8 inches in length, it features a smooth, lightly pebbled skin, crisp white flesh, and a sweet, mild flavor with no bitterness. Fast-growing and remarkably productive, it is an indispensable staple for fresh garden salads, summer slicing, dipping, and home pickling.
