Cucumber Suppliers - Wholesale & Bulk

With rising demand for natural, plant-based ingredients, cucumber suppliers provide dried forms such as flakes and powders that support instant foods, sauces, snacks, and nutritional blends. These formats answer the need for clean-label products while ensuring consistent quality and shelf stability.

What is Cucumber?

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is traditionally consumed fresh, but modern processing allows it to be dried into flakes and powders. After slicing and dehydration, cucumber retains its mild taste and refreshing aroma, making it suitable for soups, sauces, seasoning blends, and functional drinks.

Types, Varieties & Forms of Cucumber

• Cucumber flakes: light slices that rehydrate quickly, often used in instant soups and noodle dishes.
• Cucumber powder: a fine powder for beverages, spice mixes, sauces, and health foods.
• Organic cucumber powder: certified product meeting EU Organic and USDA Organic requirements.
• Often blended with other dried vegetables such as Tomato Flakes, Spinach Powder, or Carrot Granules.

Harvest Season of Cucumber

Cucumbers are typically harvested in summer and early autumn, depending on the growing region. In tropical and subtropical climates, multiple harvests per year are possible, ensuring steady supply for drying facilities. Quick dehydration preserves flavor and reduces moisture content for long-term storage.

1. China: the largest global cucumber producer, with significant volumes exported in dried forms.
2. India: cultivates cucumbers year-round in many regions, supplying both fresh and processed markets.
