In our house we store it in the fridge and cut off as much as needed, keeping the rest in the plastic wrap. This way I think they keep fine for up to a couple of weeks. At worst, the section nearest the cut will get a bit mushy and need to be sacrificed.
- account42 2y agoHuh, you made me realize that the plastic wraps for cucumbers have pretty much entirely disappeared here. I'm not really a fan for overuse of plastic packaging but I do wonder what effec it has on shelf life. Most produce does seem to not last as long as it used to but that could be due to many different factors (including bad memory).
