Ever wondered why cucumbers are always so straight in the supermarkets? It’s cause they’re not. All these odd sized cucumbers won’t even make it to the grocery storefront.

Today, these rescued cucumbers have a new lease on life and are sought after across the whole country by restaurants, bakeries, and customers with no sign of ceasing. A chef’s palate helps to refine the flavour of these crunchy wee morsels, and we would be lying if we said we only had a few.
