Cucumbers -Matt Fry’s Pickler - 5lb

Matt Fry’s Anya cucumbers are harvested young, when the skin is still thin, the seeds are barely developed, and the flesh carries maximum crunch.

But what matters most is how they eat.

These cucumbers come in tight, dense, and highly hydrated, with a crisp snap that holds from skin to center. Unlike oversized pickling cucumbers that can go hollow or seedy, Anya stays compact and balanced, making it useful far beyond pickling.

Matt grows them with careful irrigation and soil management to maintain even growth and prevent bitterness — a detail you can taste immediately.

For the Kitchen

• Quick pickles: Holds texture exceptionally well under acid
• Fermentation: Dense flesh stays crisp through longer cures
• Raw applications: Slice for salads, crudo, or chilled plates
• Crushed cucumber preparations: Excellent water content and crunch
• Grilled or blistered: Young cucumbers take heat surprisingly well

Because they’re harvested small and consistently, they prep cleanly and behave predictably during service.
