Heart-shaped cucumbers

We already know the extraordinary shaped fruit and vegetables from Japan, like the square watermelon. But we also have something special from the Netherlands. The heart-shaped cucumbers, a bestseller for Valentine’s Day.

The heart-shaped cucumbers come from two Dutch growers. During the last days of the growth they carefully place a heart-shaped transparant mall around the snack cucumbers. This then grows into a heart-shaped cucumber.

Thanks to its creative shape you can easily create a playful dish. these cucumbers also have a dark skin, which means extra flavor. These heart-shaped cucumbers are ideal for Valentine’s Day!

Fortunately, there’s a constant supply at Rungis, because we sometimes need three hundred kohlrabi. Not just for De Librije, but also for Bar Senang: fruit and vegetables are wel represented on the menu there too.

The quality of their stuff is also three levels highter than before. But what i'm most happy about is the service of Rungis. I have never experiences this in twenty years in the hospitality industry.
