How to store cucumbers so that they remain fresh and tasty? This is a question that many gardeners ask themselves.

We suggest considering several recommendations that will allow cucumbers to stay fresh longer.
Let's pay attention to the advice of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
First of all, they should not be washed before being put into the refrigerator. There should be no damage on the fruit.
