Cucumbers: when it's in season and what to cook
Cucumbers are usually at their best from June to September across much of the US.
How to pick it
Choose firm cucumbers with no soft ends or yellow patches.
How to keep it
Refrigerate and use within about a week; wrap cut ends.
Months are when each item is usually at its best across much of the US. Seasons start earlier in warm places and later in cool ones, and they shift from year to year, so your local farm stand or market is the best guide.
