The Armenian cucumber (Cucumis melo var. flexuosus), also known as snake cucumber or yard-long cucumber and locally known as “atta” in Egypt, is a unique variety of melon that resembles a cucumber in appearance and taste. Despite its name, it is botanically classified as a melon. This elongated, slender fruit can grow up to 3 feet in length and has a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a crisp texture. Its thin, pale green skin is typically ridged and can be consumed without peeling.
