One of the most unusual treats Bruce and Erica offer is the Poona Kheera cucumber (Cucumis sativus). Of Indian origin, the plant bears fruit that are at first cream or light green in color then gradually turn light brown. The flesh is crisp, juicy, delicate, and uniquely delicious, very different from that of a conventional cucumber. This year's crop sold so quickly, said Bruce, that he plans on growing a good many more for next season. Poona Kheera grows on strong vines that bear heavily.
