Key Points
   

For the best buy, choose firm, unspotted cucumbers.

To prepare cucumbers, rinse and remove ends before eating.

To store fresh, refrigerate whole cucumbers for up to one week.

Cucumbers contain fiber which helps to keep you regular.

Easy Additions

Add chopped cucumbers to salads.

Slice cucumber in half and scoop out seeds.  Fill with low fat cottage cheese, tuna or egg salad. 

Add cucumber slices to your sandwiches for extra crunch.

Remember to rinse all fruits and vegetables before using.
