This is the first Polish variety that withstands low temperatures at the emergence and early development stages, what eliminates the need to cover the culture with aggrotextiles. It yields rich harvest of regularly shaped and sized fruit with a small core. They are crunchy, free of bitter taste and do not overgrow. They are fitted for pickling and marinating.

Cucumber also contains numerous anti-cancer agents - flavonoids, lutein and caffeic acid.
