Cucumbers

​

• Do not wash before storing, only wash right before consuming. Store in a sealed plastic bag or in your crisper drawer of the refrigerator.

• Best to store as dry as possible, because any residual moisture in the bag will cause the cucumber or age faster.  

• For long term storage, wrap the cucumber in clean dish towel or paper towel inside of the plastic bag and place in crisper drawer. Use within a week of harvest.

• We grow the variety Katrina which is a Persian cucumber type.  Katrinas are smaller cucumbers with a firmer texture and a little less water content making them great for salads, snacking or pickling.

• Eat your cukes as an easy snack, sliced and sprinkled with a touch of sugar and a little salt.  Or make  a salad with smashed ginger and garlic,  or enjoy them in chilled soups, or made the classic cucumber dip,  tzatziki!

• Cucumbers are also great for green juice and cocktails.
