How should I store my cucumber to make it last longer?
If I leave cucumber out it gets dry and moldy. If I put it in the fridge it gets soft and soggy. In either case I have to through it out before it gets used up.
So how should I store my cucumber to get the most out of it, before it turns bad?
There are some answers for your reference as below,you can choose your best answers
Most cucumbers found in supermarkets have endured a journey of hundreds of miles from where they were grown. To keep them from drying out on their long trip, their skins are usually waxed. These farm-fresh cucumbers dehydrate faster than the waxy kind, so be sure to get them into the refrigerator right away. If you store unwashed cucumbers in a sealed plastic bag in the vegetable crisper bin, they willll hold for at least a week. Keep cucumbers tucked far away from tomatoes, apples, and citrus which give off ethylene gas that accelerates cucumber deterioration.
Well of course it will always be best when fresh! The sooner you eat it after being picked the better it will be. But if I have to store them for any length of time I always put them in a zip top bag with wadded up paper toweling. The toweling wicks the moisture away from the cucumber!
In a plastic bag which should be stored in the refrigerator.
