How to increase the shelf life of fresh cucumbers: experienced housewives shared their secrets
08.08.2023 17:30
Many people try to buy cucumbers in August in bulk, since we actively use vegetables, and we don’t want to constantly go to the market or the store for them.
However, it is not always possible to keep cucumbers strong and fresh for the required amount of time.
How can you prolong the freshness of cucumbers?
Correct selection
After purchasing, it is extremely important to evaluate the quality of vegetables. If some look limp and "tired", then it is better to use them immediately, rather than put them in the refrigerator.
They won't store well anyway.
To wash or not to wash?
Many housewives believe that all products need to be washed before storing. But this is a misconception. Cucumbers definitely do not need to be washed before putting them in the refrigerator.
If there is too much sand or dirt on the fruits, they are cleaned with a dry cloth.
Vinegar
You will need to take two containers of different sizes. In the large one we pour 2-3 spoons of vinegar. In the smaller one we put cucumbers and place the container in the large container.
However, be careful not to let vinegar come into contact with the vegetables.
