The Persian cucumber (Cucumis sativus “Persian”) is a variety of burpless cucumber, meaning its consumption is less likely to cause gastrointestinal upset than other types. This cucumber is also small, sweet and essentially seedless. It’s also known as Beit Alpha cucumber, a name that indicates the community in northern Israel where the fruit was originally developed.

The Beit Alpha CMR/MMR cucumber is an excellent addition to any home garden. Each cucumber has a medium green exterior and very small black spine. This cucumber grows straight and ranges between 5-8‚ long. Beit Alpha is a generally gynoecious strain that produces mostly female flowers. It may also be parthenocarpic (able to set fruit without pollination), but this characteristic is in dispute. We recommend that Beit Alpha be planted near a monoecious strain to ensure cropping.
