What about cucumbers that have been cut open?
E.g. salad cucumbers[1] are long enough that it's not uncommon to use a half at a time.

- prmoustache 2y agoYou can leave them in the fridge. Just eat the rest the next day. I don't think it is a good idea to keep vegetables for days anyway. I usually buy my vegetables the day I start eating them.
- semi-extrinsic 2y agoWhat? Unless vegetables are showing clear signs of decay (e.g. cucumber becomes yellow and soft) they are safe to eat for weeks after purchase. Many vegetables can be stored for many months if you manage temperature, light and humidity properly. Back in the days, people would store vegetables in a cold basement for up to 1 year. Potatoes are stored dry and dark, carrots and cabbage are pulled straight out of the ground, not cleaned or divided roots/leaves, and are kept moist and dark (the old folks would stack up layers of wet moss and veggies), while garlic and onions are kept dry and dark and separate from the rest.

- prmoustache 2y agoI live in a hot and relatively humid climate, and don't have any basement. The permanent market is just a 2 minutes walk from home. Given the climate we don't have a winter season with no production. No reason to store fresh vegetables, I only store stuff that is sold in tin cans.
