How to use

Rinse the cucumber under cold running water and dry with a clean cloth. If desired, trim the stem ends and slice, dice or julienne according to the recipe.

Usage recommendations

Store uncut cucumbers in the refrigerator crisper at about 4–7°C and use within a few days for best texture and flavor. Avoid prolonged storage near ethylene-producing fruits (apples, bananas) to prevent accelerated aging. Wash before use and discard any cucumbers that show soft spots or unpleasant odor.
