Storage
Cucumbers should be stored in the refrigerator, preferably in a perforated bag to maintain moisture. They can last for about one week.
Prep Tip
Try salting your cucumbers for a half hour before using them for a crunchy, refreshing bite.
Seasonality
Cucumbers are at their peak during the summer months, typically from late spring to early fall.
