Kirby cucumbers, also known as pickling cucumbers, are small and firm cucumbers with a bumpy or warty skin. They are usually harvested when they reach about 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 centimeters) in length, although they can be smaller or larger depending on the variety. Kirby cucumbers have a crisp texture and a refreshing, slightly tart flavor. Their compact size and firmness make them ideal for pickling, as they retain their crunch and absorb flavors well. They are often used to make dill pickles, bread and butter pickles, or any other type of preserved cucumber. Kirby cucumbers are also enjoyed fresh in salads and sandwiches due to their flavorful and crunchy nature.
