Fresh Whole Cucumber — Each

🥒 Fresh Whole Cucumber — Each

Cool, Crisp and Incredibly Versatile — Delivered to Your Surrey Doorstep Before 7am

About This Product

A fresh cucumber is one of the most useful vegetables in any kitchen. Cool to the touch, mild in flavour, satisfyingly crisp and almost entirely water — it works in salads, lunchboxes, dips, drinks and skincare equally well. One of the lowest calorie vegetables you can buy, and one of the most hydrating.

Each cucumber is hand selected for firmness, colour and condition. A good fresh cucumber should be dark green, completely firm from end to end with no soft spots, and feel heavy for its size. Any cucumber showing yellowing, wrinkling or soft patches is rejected before your order is packed.

Delivered fresh across Ashtead, Leatherhead, Fetcham, Bookham and Effingham before 7am.

Storage Instructions

• Keep refrigerated
• Best consumed within 4 to 5 days of delivery
• Once cut, wrap the unused portion tightly in cling film and refrigerate
• Cut cucumber is best consumed within 2 days
• Do not freeze — the high water content causes the texture to break down completely on defrosting
• Store away from apples and bananas — ethylene gas from these fruits can cause cucumbers to deteriorate faster
