STORAGE TIP
Wash and draw cucumber. Wrap up the cucumber in paper towel. Raw cucumbers surrounded by a paper towel are kept dry due to the absorption of water and moisture by the towel. Putting the cucumber into the vegetable crisper of the fridge while surrounded by the paper towel will help keep the cucumber fresh as the moisture level is lowered, up to 10-12 days.
