Cucumber Seeds

About this product

Cucumber seeds (வெள்ளரி விதைகள்) – small, pale, delicately crunchy kernels, valued in traditional Indian cooling preparations. These are hulled cucumber seed kernels with a very mild, faintly sweet taste and a light crunch. The flavour is subtle enough that they disappear into whatever they are added to, contributing texture rather than taste, which is precisely how they are usually used. In Indian households they are best known as a cooling ingredient for the summer months. They are ground into thandai and cooling milk drinks, blended into sherbets, and added to smoothies and lassi. They also work scattered over salads, curd rice and fruit bowls, folded into ladoo and energy bars, or simply dry-roasted with a little salt as a light snack. Cucumber seeds provide plant protein, magnesium, and healthy fats, and are traditionally regarded as cooling in Ayurvedic practice, which is why they appear in summer preparations across India. Store airtight in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Like other oily seeds they are best kept refrigerated in warm weather and used within a few months of opening.
