| Persian / Lebanese | Snacking and salads: small, crisp, seedless; eat skin and all. |
| Kirby (Pickling) | Pickles and quick brines: short and bumpy, firm flesh that stays crunchy in vinegar. |
| Armenian (Yard-long) | Salads and tzatziki: long and ribbed, technically a melon; thin skin, mild and crisp. |
Which should I pick?
