How to choose
the best cucumbers
Make sure they're firm to the touch.
Soft spots, especially at the tips, mean the cucumber is nearing the end of its shelf life. Look for a consistent color. Yellow spots suggest over ripeness. Skin should be smooth, not wrinkled or shrivelled, which is a sign of moisture loss.
