{"product_id":"mexican-sour-gherkin-seedlings","title":"Mexican Sour Gherkin Seedlings","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen a vegetable is as adorable as Mexican Sour Gherkins, cute nicknames pop up as plentifully as fruits on a vine. Also called Cucamelon and Sanditas (Spanish for little watermelon), Gherkins are most charmingly known as Mouse Melons. Neither a cucumber nor a melon, Mouse Melons are in a league—and a genus—of their own. Just about the right size for a mouse meal, humans can eat these cute fruits in single bites. Like their tangy burst of flavor? There’s always more of this high-yielding treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItty bitty, bite-sized cucumber-like fruits form on this unique, sprawling but small leaved vine. Each bite is a refreshing, explosive sensation, and the flavor is a treat: sweet and pleasant, but predominantly tangy, hence the name. They also make lovely pickles. Not a true cucumber, but a member of the species \u003cem\u003eMelothria scabra\u003c\/em\u003e. A great choice for small spaces, those who love anything unique, and for market growers. Also a very popular item sold at farmer's markets in half or full pints. Trellis for best production, ease of harvest, and use of space.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hudson Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"4-pack of seedlings","offer_id":33979926118445,"sku":"sg_a_034","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/0909\/1117\/products\/IMG_2637_4f5dba6b-d1cd-422f-8f59-176bf72b61ee.jpg?v=1587331461","url":"https:\/\/hudsonvalleyseed.mom\/products\/mexican-sour-gherkin-seedlings","provider":"Hudson Valley Seed Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
