Shopping for Cucumbers
Choose bold green, firm and medium-sized field or pickling cucumbers for optimal taste. Both types keep well in the fridge for three to five days; much longer can lead to ‘chilling’ injuries! Remember to peel waxed cucumbers and remove loose spines by scrubbing pickling cucumbers.
