What are some tips to help us preserve cucumbers that are easy to soften?

Cucumbers have a crisp taste, especially suitable for making cold dishes that are often eaten in summer, whether it is cold cucumbers or other cold dishes, cut a little cucumber shreds and put them in, the taste will be much better. However, cucumber is also a vegetable that does not shelf well.

If you put it directly in the refrigerator, the cucumber is easy to get out of the water, and then it will rot after a few days, if it is placed directly outdoors, this cucumber is actually the same as other vegetables, the water slowly evaporates, and the natural cucumber is not brittle, so everyone generally goes to the supermarket to buy a few before eating, after all, there is no such crunchy taste after this storage.

<>First of all, you can find out, whether there is the kind of white cotton clothes that have been worn old and no longer worn, short-sleeved pants can be, it is best that there is no print and no metal, pure white is good, of course, water absorption must be good. If it is found, then the storage of this cucumber will be simple.

Prepare a large plastic bag, so that the cucumber can be put in whole and tie it, wrap the cucumber in old clothes, it is best to have clothes between each cucumber as a barrier, and then put the cucumber and the clothes together in a plastic bag, tie the bag, and put it in the refrigerator.

This method can store cucumbers for about a week, and the taste will not change much, this method is actually similar to the method of everyone usually put in the refrigerator, the difference is that the cucumber is wrapped with absorbent cloth, this is because the cucumber will come out of the water in the process of refrigeration, and the plastic bag will be very wet, and the water will soak the cucumber, which will lead to the rapid decay of the cucumber.

Choose water-absorbing cloth to wrap the cucumber, in fact, it is to absorb water, so that the water is absorbed by the fabric, and the surface of the plastic bag and cucumber is dry, and naturally it will not spoil so quickly.

This fabric can also be used repeatedly, when taking out the cucumber, put the water-absorbing cloth in a sunny place to dry, you can continue to use it next time, and then not only cucumbers can be used in this way, but also some vegetables and fruits that are easy to get out of the water can be used in this way.

You can put the cucumber in a cool place and wrap the cucumber head in plastic wrap. You can also pickle the cucumber and store it. Cucumbers can be left out of the refrigerator.

Do not wash the cucumbers, wrap them in plastic wrap, then place them in the refrigerator and eat them as soon as possible.

Store in air, soak in salt water, wrap in absorbent cloth and refrigerate. Ventilation is to slow decay, salt water immersion is to retain moisture, and cloth wrapping is to slow down moisture loss.

1. Clean the old cucumber and remove the hard skin from the outside.

2. Use a scraper to scrape the old cucumber into long slices, and don't have the gourd inside.

3. Boil water in a pot, blanch the old cucumber slices for 2 minutes and remove them.

4. Put it in cold water to cool and continue to control the moisture.

5. Divide the cucumber slices into a crisper according to the amount of one consumption.

6. Put it in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and take it out and thaw it when eating.

Note:After thawing, it cannot be frozen again, as bacteria will grow and affect the ingredients.

1. Ventilation. First of all, we can pick the fresh cucumbers, and then place them in a cool and ventilated place, so that the cucumbers can be stored for a long time without spoiling, about three days, but due to the hot weather, the cucumbers will become soft, easier to spoil, and it is better to eat them as soon as possible.

2. Suspension method. Due to the relatively high temperature around, it is best not to put the cucumber in a plastic bag, so as not to accelerate the deterioration of the cucumber, but should hang the cucumber and then put it in a cool and ventilated place, such as by the window, etc., which can extend the shelf life of the cucumber.

3. Soak in salt water. Then we can also soak the cucumber in salt water, which has a bactericidal effect and can prevent the cucumber from being eroded by bacteria and accelerating deterioration, but the nutrients of the cucumber will definitely be lost in large quantities.

Cucumbers are harvested as soon as possible to eat, the fresher, the better the taste, and the nutritional value is relatively high, if you buy too much, you can not finish eating, you can put it in a ventilated and cool place, or you can soak it in clean water for storage, you can also put this balance in the refrigerator to refrigerate, so that the cucumber taken out of the refrigerator is particularly cool and crispy, and the taste of the cold salad is better.

Cucumbers are often planted in spring and autumn, the market time is in spring and autumn, and now cucumbers are listed all year round, which is due to the fact that cucumbers can be planted in vegetable greenhouses, so that cucumbers can be eaten in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Cucumbers are harvested as early as possible, the fresher, the better the taste, and the nutritional value is relatively high, if you buy too much, you can't finish eating, you can put it in a ventilated and cool place, or soak it in water for storage, or you can put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration.

1. Store in a ventilated and cool place

Prepare a cardboard box, put the cucumber diagonally on the carton, don't lie flat in the carton, so that the air permeability is not good, put it vertically, most of the cucumbers are exposed to the air, and then move the box to a place without sunlight and ventilation, so that the ventilated environment can avoid rotting.

2. Refrigerate in the refrigerator

Cover the cucumber with plastic wrap, and then put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration, so that the cucumber taken out of the refrigerator is particularly cold and crispy, and the taste of the cold salad is better.

3. Soak in water and store

When buying, choose fresh cucumbers, because the fresher the more resistant to storage, prepare a container, pour an appropriate amount of water into it, and then add fresh cucumbers to soak.

<>1. Cellar storage. Pack the selected cucumbers into cartons, about 15 kg each, and then stack the boxes in a permanent hail ear vegetable cellar or earthen cellar; Or spread a layer of straw at the bottom of the cellar, and then put the cucumbers on top of each layer, separated by two straws between each layer.

2. After the cucumbers are stacked, the height of the pile should exceed 60-70 cm. Seal with plastic film. After entering the cellar, the pure bright is checked once every 5-7 days, and the rotten melon and the discolored melon are picked out to avoid infecting the good melon. This method is suitable for storing large quantities of cucumbers.

1. Ventilation, prepare a carton, and then put the cucumber obliquely on the carton, don't lie flat in the carton, it is not very breathable, put it vertically, most of the cucumbers are exposed to the air, and then move the box to a place without sunlight and ventilation, so that the ventilated environment can be slippery to avoid rotting, the only drawback is that the cucumber will become shriveled after two or three days because of the loss of part of the moisture, but the taste will not affect much if you eat it as soon as possible.

2. Refrigeration, this method is particularly suitable for cold cucumbers, because the cucumbers taken out of the refrigerator are particularly cool and crispy, and the taste of the cold salad is better, but some friends said that the cucumbers in the refrigerator will be bad for a few days, it is likely that everyone forgot a step, because the cucumbers have a lot of water, so after putting them in the refrigerator, the plastic bag containing the cucumbers is full of water. Because of being soaked in this water, cucumbers are also easy to perish in the low temperature of the refrigerator, in fact, it is recommended that you prepare a few clean pieces of cloth that do not fade before putting them in a plastic bag, and it is best to absorb water better. Then wrap the cucumber, then put the eggplant in a plastic bag, tie the bag and put it in the refrigerator.

In this way, the fabric will absorb water, and the surface of the cucumber will be dry, and it will not rot within a week, and it will be fresh when you take it out and eat it at any time.

1. Dry and store after washing with water.

First prepare a basin of water, put the cucumber into the clean water to clean the line early, let the dust on the surface of the cucumber clean, after cleaning the cucumber, we will wipe the water dry, after wiping dry, we use the prepared paper towel to wrap the cucumber, so as to ensure that the cucumber water is not lost, keep it dry, and prevent rot, and then we prepare plastic wrap, and then wrap a layer, so that the processed cucumber can extend the storage time, and finally put the cucumber in a cool and ventilated place, but remember that the cucumber should not be bumped, So as not to squeeze and cause rot, so that it is fresh for a month.

2. Salt water immersion method.

Prepare a pot of water, add an appropriate amount of salt to the water, then stir the salt evenly, and then put the cucumber into the light salt water, the light salt water completely covers the cucumber, the light salt water can keep the cucumber fresh and not rotten, and prevent the water from breeding bacteria. Finally, put the cucumber in a cool and dark place, and the method can keep the cucumber for more than half a month.
