Cucumbers

Cucumbers are great for snacking or as a refreshing summer cucumber salad. Our cucumbers stay firm because they are trellis-grown and never touch the ground. 

Cucumbers belong to a family known as cucurbits that includes melons, squash, pumpkins, and gourds. We recommend peeling regular slicing cucumbers, but if you’re looking for an easier option, try our chub cucumbers.

Typically in season: mid-June through September.

Slicing cucumbers are often peeled. Pickling cukes are not. If the seeds are bulky, slice the cucumber lengthwise and scoop them out. Scoring the skin of a cucumber with a fork or zester gives it attractive stripes. Slice, dice or cut into chunks according to recipe.

Place cucumbers in a sealed plastic bag in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator for up to a week.

You can freeze cucumbers in a vinegar brine, but they will be mushy when you eat them later. Not recommended.
