I think of summer and lunches out when I think of cucumbers. They add such a refreshing crunch to salads sandwiches and noodles. That’s why I buy so many at once. Yet it’s so disappointing when I reach into the fridge and find a cucumber slimy.

When cucumbers have a slimy coating or become mushy it is a sign that they are no longer good and should be composted.
