Cucumbers originated in India

Earlier believed to have come to India via Afghanistan, it now turns out that cucumbers and melons were native to India all along!

Do-you-know

Pandey and Susanne Renner of the Departments of Systematic Botany and Mycology, University of Munich, Germany, produced a checklist of the Cucurbitaceae of India that includes up-to-date information available for that family. According to Arun Pandey of the Department of Botany, Delhi University, ‘we can say with a fair degree of certainty that cucumbers originated in the Ganges region in the foothills of the Himalayas and this is where wild cucumbers seem to have first been cultivated.’
