Cucumbers
Best to Buy
Choose firm cucumbers with smooth, bright skins and no signs of shriveling or soft spots. Refrigerate in a plastic bag with holes poked in it for up to five days.
Prep & Store
Wash just before using. Don’t waste time peeling unless the cucumber is waxed. For more flavour, score the skin with a fork before slicing. Remove the seeds from large cucumbers since the seeds become bitter over time.
Tasty Tip
Add cucumbers to any tossed salad, or combine slices with thinly sliced red onion, fat-free yoghurt, and fresh dill.
