In cooking, cucumbers are among the most popular vegetables.

This is why many housewives buy green fruits at least once a week.

Cucumbers have to be purchased quite often, as they do not last long. Usually only a few days.

But if you choose a non-standard storage method, the vegetables will stay fresh for 3-4 weeks.

How to store cucumbers correctly

Of course, this food product can be placed in a special vegetable drawer, which is usually located at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment.

However, when choosing such a place, you should be prepared for the fact that after 3-4 days the cucumbers will have to be thrown away.

It is better to choose an alternative way to store the green vegetable. For example, you can put it in a deep bowl. The container should be covered with a damp piece of cloth and placed on one of the shelves of the refrigerator.

Cucumbers can be left in the box. But then each fruit should be “packed” in a paper towel.

Both methods will increase the chances that the vegetables will last for two weeks.

But the best storage option is the following: cucumbers should be placed in a deep plastic container filled with water. The liquid should be changed daily. Of course, the container should be in the refrigerator.

Compliance with these conditions can increase the shelf life of vegetables up to a month.
