From All-Creatures.org Vegan - Vegetarian Recipe Book: How Mary and Frank and Friends Eat

(Cucumbers, Natsu Fushinari) This natsu fushinari variety od cucumber was developed to offer the flavor and crispness of Japanese cucumbers with an easy-to-grow, single-stem architecture. Many Japanese cucumbers are multi-stemmed, requiring steadfast attention to manage the many side shoots. Natsu – meaning “summer” – brings the high quality of the deep green, thin-skinned Japanese cucumbers with the ease of summer. Natsu Cucumber is also parthenocarpic, meaning that it will set fruit even without pollinators and can be grown indoors. An open pollinated Japanese cucumber with terrific sweet flavour and small seed cavity.  Does well both outside and in the greenhouse. Is not prone to powdery mildew.  Very quick to germinate (2 days for root to emerge).  In Japanese, fushi means “node” and nari means “setting fruit.” We bought ours at Touch of Dutch Farm in Richland Center, Wisconsin. We could not find any comprehensive nutritional information.
