Tindola (Tindora)
Tindola originates from the same family as cucumbers and has many similarities in appearance. Smooth green skin on the outside and small seeds on the inside. This vegetable is a lot smaller than its well-known relative and is therefore also called a mini cucumber. Unlike (mini) cucumbers, the tindola is not eaten raw. Tindola tastes a little sour when eaten raw, but otherwise they are quite neutral.
Origin
The tindola is best known in India and is considered a super healthy vegetable . In addition, tindola also occurs in Southeast Asia, the Carribbean Islands and Africa.
