Cucumber

Cooking Tips :

1. Selection:
   • Look for cucumbers with a bright, even colour of skin without dullness or sweating. The cucumber should look fresh.
   • A good cucumber is firm and does not bend. This firmness should be right through to the tips of the cucumber.
   • Smaller cucumbers are crisper and have finer seeds, making them more appealing to many people, especially kids.
   • Avoid cucumbers with blemishes, soft spots, yellowing, or easily bent.
2. Storage :Given the high water content of cucumbers, they are best consumed within days of picking. Avoid storing near fruit, as this will cause cucumbers to yellow and deteriorate quickly.
