Organic Old Cucumber @ Baba

Old cucumber, also known as winter melon or winter gourd, is a type of gourd commonly used in Asian cuisines, particularly in Chinese cuisine. Despite its name, it is harvested when mature but not necessarily old. Old cucumber has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a soft, tender texture when cooked. It is often used in soups, stews, and braised dishes, where it absorbs flavors well and adds a subtle sweetness to the dish. Rich in water content and low in calories, old cucumber is valued for its hydrating properties and versatility in cooking.
