When you go to the store, there is no point in buying more than a couple of cucumbers at a time. Once in the refrigerator, a vegetable will rapidly lose its freshness within a week. However, what about those who bring home many kilograms of cucumbers from their summer cottage? Is there any way to keep cucumbers fresh for at least one month when refrigerated?
Although the 1990s are far behind, the number of compatriots who continue to keep their own subsidiary farms is in no hurry to decline. Many aged people will say: they say, when you have your own summer cottage, you won't go hungry for sure. This statement can most often be argued, but at the same time, everyone will agree that home-made products are a good help for any refrigerator and wallet.
The main problem of subsidiary farming makes itself felt during the harvesting of agricultural crops. The fruits of labor, obtained by sweat and blood, must somehow be preserved for many months. Most of the food is canned in one form or another. Needless to say, after this, there is no need to talk about any "freshness". Fruits and vegetables irrevocably lose their original taste.

Today we will talk about how you can keep fresh cucumbers for a month, or even two. The first thing to remember is that cucumbers cannot be washed before being sent for long-term storage. Place them in a deep container and then cover with a damp towel. This will allow the product to remain fresh for a long time (up to three weeks, depending on the thickness of the cucumber peel).

It is also worth adding that the wet towel method works with almost all vegetables and herbs. Of course, when the towel dries, it should be wetted again. You should also check the food periodically to make sure nothing has rotted.
