Cucumber Aunt Alice (Cucumis sativus)
The Tante Alice cucumber is a very productive and disease-resistant variety, offering crisp, juicy and easy-to-digest flesh. Its fruits are tasty, with a delicately fragrant taste.
This heritage variety was passed down thanks to the know-how of Marie-Alice Laflamme Gosselin. At age 90, she selected the most beautiful cucumbers, soaked them in milk on St. Anthony's Eve, then planted them in rich, fertile black soil. Its seeds were then carefully preserved by an enthusiast, allowing this rare and delicious variety to be known.
The Aunt Alice cucumber produces few seeds, which makes growing it even more special.
