Kakiri cucumbers are a small to medium-sized varietal, averaging 3 to 12 centimeters in length, and have a round, oblong, elongated, to oblate, curved shape, depending on growing conditions. The skin is smooth, taut, and firm, showcasing a golden yellow-orange hue. Some Kakiri cucumbers may have a solid nature, while others are covered in thick, dark green striping. Underneath the surface, the white flesh is often tinged with pale green just below the skin and has an aqueous, dense, and crisp consistency. The flesh also encases several chambers with tiny, cream-colored, tear-drop-shaped seeds ranging 3 to 5 millimeters in length. Kakiri cucumbers release a faint but pleasant aroma when ripe and are traditionally cooked before they are consumed. Once cooked, the variety has a refreshing, subtly sweet, and mild taste.
