Kronan said cucumbers have sold out in stores across Iceland. The sales picked up so quickly that the store did not have time to prepare, said Gudrun Adalsteinsdottir, the company’s chief executive. “We are, just literally, eating it up,” joked Gudny Ljosba Hreinsdottir, 29, who runs Wake Up Reykjavik, an Icelandic tourism company with a walking food tour…
Now the stores going to over buy and the Trend will die off. Cucumbers will raise in price by double for Icelanders and never return to normal price.
Most of it is going straight to the compost.

There is also a slight shortage of carbon dioxide, she said, a key element of greenhouse production
Huh?
Iceland produces most of their cucumbers in high tech greenhouses using geothermal energy for heat and light.
Greenhouse cucumbers grow best in temps around 25-35c. Since the ambient temp in Iceland is usually cooler than this, venting the greenhouse is uncommon.
As the plants use CO2 in photosynthesis the levels of CO2 in the air decline and the O2 levels increase. The lower levels of CO2 drastically slow down the cucumbers growth. The growers often supplement the plants with CO2 from tanks.
Industrial greenhouses feed photosynthesis—which is how plants make food by turning carbon dioxide and water into oxygen—a lot more is what I"m assuming this means.
Everybody take deep breaths.
Does anyone have the recipe?
yes
… Can I see it?
no

I thought for sure this was going to be talking about the stores called Iceland, since that’s tripped me up before. Now they fake left.
There’s a store called Iceland‽ Do they sell Zambonis or something?
It’s a grocery store in the UK lol. Leave it to the Brits to appropriate the name of an entire country.
