How to Pick

When selecting a cucumber, look for firmness and a vibrant green color. Avoid any with soft spots or discoloration. Consider the size and shape based on your preference, whether it's for slicing into salads or pickling. 

Additionally, check for any bitter taste by sampling a small piece before purchasing. For the best experience, choose a cucumber that feels heavy for its size, as this indicates a higher water content and freshness.

How to Store

Store your continental cucumbers in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator to maintain their freshness and crispness. 

Keep them away from ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas to prevent them from ripening too quickly. If the cucumbers are already cut, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within a few days for the best quality. Avoid storing them at room temperature as they will spoil quickly.

Where it’s Sourced

Our Continental Cucumbers are grown in the rich, fertile soils of Victoria and New South Wales, where the temperate climate and ample sunshine allow them to thrive and develop their crisp, refreshing flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Add a refreshing twist to your salads by thinly slicing the cucumber and mixing it with tomatoes, feta cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil. Alternatively, create a delicious cucumber and mint cooler by blending cucumber with ice, mint, and a splash of lemon juice for a revitalizing summer drink.
