Are You Guilty of These Common Food Storage Mistakes?
Cucumber Cool
Refrigerating cucumbers can cause them to become waterlogged and lose their crispness due to the cold temperature. The best way to store cucumbers is at around 50-55°F. Keep them away from fruits like tomatoes and bananas, which release ethylene gas that speeds up ripening and spoilage.
If necessary, store cucumbers in a cool, dry place or the fridge’s crisper drawer, but wrap them in a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Proper storage keeps cucumbers crunchy and refreshing, ready to add a crisp bite to salads and snacks.
