Fresh texture, a quiet flavour.
Cucumber brings crunch to salads and sandwiches and a gentle green note to a prepared blend. The variety, skin and cut all influence the experience. Begin with the fresh vegetable to understand its flavour, then explore the formats that suit your kitchen.

Fresh cucumber
Slice, dice or grate according to your recipe. Different varieties have different skins and seed centres; prepare them for the texture you want.
Pickled cucumber
A seasoned pickle adds acidity and often salt. Choose it for its own flavour and follow the storage directions on the jar.
Juice or prepared blend
Read the complete ingredients to see how cucumber is used. Other fruits and vegetables may supply much of the sweetness or acidity.
A place to start.
Wash before cutting
Wash the cucumber well and trim the ends. Peel or remove the seed centre if your recipe calls for it.
Choose a cut
Try slices for a simple side or small dice for a salad. Make a small portion so you can judge the texture with the rest of the dish.
Dress near serving
Taste a piece with a little of your chosen dressing before mixing the full portion. Prepare close to serving when you want a crisp result.
Let the texture lead.
Thin slices, small cubes and grated cucumber feel different in the same dish. Change the cut before adding more ingredients; a familiar preparation may be enough.
What to look for.
Look for firmness
Choose firm cucumbers without soft spots or damage. Check that the skin looks sound.
Match the variety to the use
Slicing and pickling cucumbers are intended for different preparations. For pickles, follow a recipe written for the variety and method.
Keep fresh and prepared forms distinct
Refrigerate fresh cucumber. For a bottled drink or pickle, follow its own storage and after-opening instructions.
