Fresh Cucumber, also known as Kheera, Kakdi, Vellarikka and Dosakaya, has a mild, clean flavour and a crisp, juicy texture. It is widely used in Indian and international kitchens for raita, kachumber salad, chaats, sandwiches and chilled drinks. Find it in our Everyday Vegetables collection or browse all fresh produce in Fresh Foods.
Grate or dice cucumber for Kheera Raita with yoghurt, cumin and mint, or combine it with tomato, onion and lemon for Kachumber Salad. Add slices to sandwiches, wraps and chaats, or blend with mint, lemon and water for a cucumber cooler.
Should I peel cucumber before eating?
The skin is edible. Wash it thoroughly and peel only if preferred.
Can I use cucumber in Indian dishes?
Yes. It is commonly used in raita, kachumber salad, chaat and simple sides with chaat masala.
Can cucumber be frozen?
Freezing changes its crisp texture, so fresh cucumber is best used chilled rather than frozen.
