Wondering when to pick your cucumbers and how to tell if they’re good to eat? Here’s what you need to know:
Most cucumbers are ready to pick when they’re 6-8 inches long. Pickling cucumbers? Grab them at 2-4 inches for the best crunch!
Look for a bright, consistent green color. Yellowing cucumbers are usually overripe.
Your cucumbers should be firm to the touch. Soft or spongy ones? They’re past their prime.
So, how do I know if they are good to eat?
Fresh cucumbers have a vibrant green color and smooth skin. Avoid those with yellow spots, shriveled ends, or blemishes.
Good cucumbers are firm. Soft or mushy? Not so much.
Slice a small piece. It should be crisp and slightly sweet. Bitter? That cucumber’s seen better days.
Happy harvesting!
