Cucumbers are great sliced into salads and served raw. I have even heard of people cooking them. Also great for making pickles.
Srub cucumbers clean, cut a slice and taste it. If the peel is unpleasantly thick or bitter, peel the whole vegetable before slicing to chopping for salads, otherwise you can leave the peel on.
Look for firm cucumbers, without blemishes or soft spots. Our cucumbers are organically grown and un-waxed. They will keep for up to a week if wrapped loosely in plastic and stored in the crisper.
Make sure to choose a cucumber variety that fits your purposes. English and Persian cucumbers are delicious without peeling; lemon cucumbers and kirbys are great for eating raw or pickling; gherkins are best for pickling
