Maine Harvest for Hunger

Cucumbers

Choose: Firm, green and slender cucumbers that do not have soft spots and wrinkled skin.
Store: Cucumbers should be stored in the refrigerator and are best if used within 1 week.
How to use: Wash well. Cucumbers are almost always eaten raw with or without the skin. They can be sauteed or stir-fried too.
