Pepinos snack en invernadero
De un bocado a 10–12 cm, dulces y pensados para los consumidores preocupados por la salud: la posición de mayor margen de la categoría del pepino, que compite en el snack junto a los tomates cherry.
El premium para llevar
Los pepinos snack son el formato comercial más pequeño: 10–12 cm, dulces y crujientes, vendidos en envases para llevar en los que el consumidor paga por comodidad, no por peso. Unas condiciones de invernadero optimizadas —humedad estable, luz generosa y fertirrigación precisa— realzan el dulzor y la textura sobre los que se asienta el segmento, y su larga vida útil favorece una amplia distribución.
