Four fresh cucumbers arrived!!
Such a good quality!
This deserves a bad review. I forgot to request a refund that day. It was not only unpalatable, but also bitter. This definitely deserves a bad review!
Fresh cucumbers arrived that weren't dried out.
The cucumbers are fresh haha. I'm not sure what to cook with them haha.
Three long cucumbers were delivered. If you make cucumber sashimi with seasoned salt, sesame salt, and vinegar, it's a real liquor thief.

its fresh and perfect. I love korean pears, its crunchy, juicy and sweet.
Super delicious and fresh, come with good amount the good size will re-purchase
The pears arrived in good condition. However, they were rougher in texture than I expected, and the children didn't like them. The taste was okay. Varieties like Akizuki might have a better texture.
Good not great flavor
You absolutely need to use pears to make kimchi; they have a natural sweetness.
I've bought it several times and always felt the quality wasn't very consistent.
None of them were edible; they tasted weird, so I threw them all away! Weee has never disappointed before, but this time the mini baby pumpkins and pears were both disappointing.
