Lebanese cucumbers are in fact from Pakistan from where they were taken up by Eastern Asian people who used them for offerings in temples.
The Lebanese is a short dark green; sweet crisp fleshed cucumber. It has a strong firm but thin skin which can be quite easily digested.
The fruit is most flavourful when it is 15-20cm long. Lebanese cucumbers are great for pickling and slicing raw.
