Cucumbers can be planted very productively in the garden. If you can't keep up with consumption, there are various storage methods.
Cucumbers last even longer when canned
Using this method, cucumbers can easily be stored for a year. The basement is recommended as a place for preserving jars, so that they can stand cool and protected from light.
Freezing cucumbers
If you can't keep up with the food when you're harvesting cucumbers, you quickly ask yourself: Can you freeze cucumbers? Even if the possibility sounds tempting, we strongly advise against it! Because cucumbers are mostly water, the cells in the fruit burst when they freeze. The cucumber quickly becomes mushy when defrosted. Pickling or canning are therefore much better methods for longer storage.
In this article you will find many more helpful tips about growing, harvesting and using cucumbers from your own garden.
