Cucumber varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common cucumber varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Slicing (American Slicer)	All-purpose salads and snacking: dark-green waxed skin (usually peeled), watery flesh; the cheap supermarket default.
English (Hothouse)	Salads and sandwiches: long, seedless, thin-skinned; no peeling needed and the mildest flavour.
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?

For salads and sandwiches, English / Hothouse is the pick: long, seedless, thin-skinned, no peeling needed. No English? Persian / Lebanese cucumbers are smaller but equally crisp and mild. For pickling, Kirby is the standard, with bumpy skin and firm flesh that stays crunchy in brine. Reach for the everyday American Slicer when you want a cheap bulk option for big salad bowls.
