    Not on the plant, the little spines have already been broken off before they get put on a store shelf.

    Wait until you find out what Dragonfruit grows on.

      Spoiler: cactus. And you can grow the seeds for your very own houseplant.

    Intresting, I have never seen a cucumber look like that. Closest are some types frown in home gardens but not even those have been that bumpy.

    Here they look kind like this Image

    So completely smooth and with around the same circumference as the bigger part of most carrots.

      Looks kinda plasticky compared to the cucumbers I am familiar with. Also looks like it is missing the seeds! Interesting. Thanks for sharing with me!

        They do have seeds but very very tiny ones.

    those are pickling cucumbers here, technically also called a cucumber but you don’t really think of them as the same thing, like how raw beets are technically perfectly edible but it’s assumed you’ll pickle them.
