Do you know that if you choose the right variety of cucumbers, then the blanks will have the best taste and are much better stored.
Pickled cucumbers have a number of features that make them immediately recognizable
- Color - For canning, take cucumbers with dark green peels.
- Cucumber thorns are white or black, depending on the variety. I advise you to take fruits with black thorns for pickling.
- Size - choose small fruits (up to 10 cm in length).
- Skin thickness also matters. For canning, use only "thick-skinned" cucumbers - they are the most crunchy.

A somewhat forgotten variety, but loved by experienced gardeners. The bushes grow lush, powerful, with short lashes. What I love him especially for is its resistance to cold and drought.
