Desi kheera, or Indian cucumber, is a refreshing and versatile vegetable. It's typically shorter and plumper than its European counterparts, with a slightly thicker, often yellowish-green skin that may have subtle ridges or spines. The flesh is crisp, juicy, and mildly sweet, sometimes with a hint of bitterness, especially near the seeds. Desi kheera is widely used in Indian cuisine, eaten raw in salads, raitas, and as a cooling snack. It's also pickled or added to cooked dishes for a crisp texture and hydrating quality. Its cooling properties make it a popular summer food.
