For anyone who doesn't know, you can do this with romaine lettuce also, I've had romaine lettuce heads last over 2 even 3 months in the crisper like this.

My mother-in-law taught me to wrap store-bought vegetables in clean newspapers and shopping bags. For almost thirty years this has been a time-tested method for me to keep produce fresher longer in the fridge.

I vaguely remember my mom wrapping cucumbers in newspaper and storing them in our root cellar (which, as a kid, I thought was dumb). I didn't like cucumbers when I was younger, but I love them now. Susan, I'll have to try this next year, thanks for sharing this! ~Margie

Just found your post, thank you so much just picked about 20 pounds of cucumbers out of the garden and we’re leaving in two days for Vacation was trying to find something another. That would keep them fresh for five days till I could get back and can them.❤️

Wow! That's awesome!

Wrote this down in my notebook. Hope I remember to read my notes next season. Just leaving cucs overnight on table or in fridge effected the quality. Great tip.

You're a lifesaver! Thanks Susan!

What a great tip. Thank you

Cool, love cukes!

Congratulations! Thanks for the wonderful tip!

I will pass this along. I do this in the summer with my pickling cukes until I get enough for a batch.

Thank you so much 💓 Great tip for all of us not on Facebook

Thank you, thank you!!!

WONDERFUL!!!

I needed this so bad thanks

Thanks. I’m going to try this. 😀

Wow, you read my mind! I just harvested 4 cucumbers, and I had already made refrigerator pickles out of the last batch, I was really wondering how to save these without pickling more! Thank you so much!!

thank you, I will try this. 🤗🤗

Thank you. This works really well. Also works on peppers.

I searched this because I'm going to make cucumber relish for my sister. She actually gave me the recipe a few years ago and it's great. I need 16 cups of chopped cukes so I needed a way to keep the earlier ones fresh. Thanks so much!

Thank you!!!

hi Susan, I have done this myself and it works wonders. I do the same with a punnet of mushrooms that goes off covered with the plastic wrap from the shops, so as soon as I get home, I open up the plastic container and wrap the mushrooms in paper towel and pop them back into the container and they last for ages in the fridge. I do the same for cucumbers and whole heads of lettuce and it does last much longer.

CONGRATULATIONS!! That's a great tip to keep them fresh thank you❤️

Will try. I'm 6a mid Ohio and planted a few late season cucumbers and picked 6 this last week, September is almost gone.

Thanks just tried it! I will post an update in a couple of days🙂

Great thanks

Our garden is just now coming on, we didn't really get the garden planted until late May, but wow the peas, the beans, and cucumbers are coming on strong. Today alone we picked over a hundred cucumbers. I gave 70% of them away and decided to pickle my first batch of dill pickles today. I was wondering how best to store them over night. Your video was just what I needed. Thank you! So much is coming on all at once, raspberries, apricots now also. Last year the frost destroyed all our fruit - this year a bumper crop!

It works!

Just stumbled across your video. New to Florida Gardening, and have harvested my first 2 cukes today. Will try your method, thanks for the Knowledge and will share with my family who also garden!

Fantastic Tip....Susan. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a wonderful December 2020 and stay safe...

Thank you Susan. This is so cool. Next year I’m going to have crisp cucumbers👍.

This is fabulous! TY for sharing I’m a new follower 😊

Very good video thank you for cheering, and also i do the same with the green onions and cilantro is i need to used on the next day if not i frizzier and last me a year ..we are only two people in my home and i have a garden for mor lol. i love your videos thank you for the tip.

Being a grower and lover of home grown cukes, I have been forever troubled by how I would store my precious babies. And you have given me this. Thank you!

Very good

Looking forward to the celery harvesting/freezing process :) Love all you share! From North Idaho zone 6a 🌻🌿💚

Congratulations! That is exciting to see how many you have reached with your message, just great! I have the next idea what could go viral : Share your picture and tipp of your best ever organized freezer! 😄 I can't forget about it how nice and organized it looked when you were showing us preserving methods 🤗 And how did I miss that you are present on social media?! I go and catch up on it 🤗 Greetings, Judit

Yay!!

Thx Mam , God bless you

Thank you😙🤍🤍

I so the same thing, except I put them into plastic airtight boxes. A larger box for mass storage and a smaller box for the cucumber I'm currently using. I do exactly the same with grapes from the supermarket. I live in tropical Nth Australia.

Thank you ! 👍🏼🌾🦌🏹

I’m so glad I found this!! I have had more bad cucumber’s in my 73 year life, because I was thinking that you Leave them in their containers!😳🥰😊😊

Yesss! Here I am one year later watching this video again because I finally need it, because I have enough cucumbers and the 'problem' how to store them 🤗 I wonder what is the update on the viral post. Sure it is even more popular than a year ago 🤗 I am going to share the tipps with my neighbors who now have also cucumbers (from me) 🙄😄. I am so happy you created this video about the best ever tipp! 😍 Greetings, Judit

I've used a similar method for storing sweet corn (don't peel them - keep the husks on - stored in the fridge in a plastic bag) but never thought of doing the same for cucumbers. I like the idea of wrapping in dry paper towel as it would soak up any moisture than escapes and stops them going soggy. Thanks for sharing!!!

Just done it let's see how they do

Thank you for this great tip. What is the bush behind you with the lovely red berries?

Hi. I just found your video today. I don't grow my own vegetables, but I'd been so frustrated with store bought cucumbers going bad soon after l buy them. I'm trying out your method today. Thank you for your informative video.

I don't have a garden but I'm trying to eat better and buy more produce I bought a few cucumbers last week and they only lasted a few days I bought more today so paper towels and plastic bags it is thanx 4 da tip!

Thanks so much I am having an unbelievable harvest of cucumbers this year and already have six jars in the frig

Thanks so much so easy ,,yes I hate soft cucumbers

Thanks for info I'm not on social media. Just what I wanted to know.

খুব ভালো লেগেছে আপনার ভিডিওটি

I'll let you know if it works for me😁

Good advice. Cucumbers go bad fast. Don't want to always pickle them. Need to have some cumbers fresh out the refrigerator. I will implement your technique. Looks like the answer I need to make the produce stay good/fresh longer. 1 0 0

Can you share how you freeze celery

Thank you mam, I don’t do any Anti Social Media.

Thanks! Going to give this a go! Do you think this will work with zucchini?

Hello,, After putting the cucumbers in the plastic bag, should i keep the bag opened or tie a knot to seal

Hello, is it okay to use tissue? I dont have paper towel handy

Thank You, I will have to see if I have any of these hard to find tools around,lol. Where are You located? I'm in Northern Utah🍁🎃

What does it mean when my cucumber leaves wilt during the day in Texas

Does the same method work for zucchini?

Do you wash prior ?

How? long will it keep

What is that beautiful bush with the berries?

How about in freezer ?

😎☝️💥

Hmmm. Wonder how it works on cucamelons. What is the gorgeous shrub/tree behind you with the red fruit?

We shall see I'll give it a try. No thanks for facebook.

Ma’am do you wash the cucumbers and dry them before wrapping in paper towel? Or do you wash them just before eating? Thanks for this informative video. I will try this method but please let me know about my Enquiry. 😊 thanks.

Does this method work/apply to any other vegetables? Tomatoes? Lettuce? Onions?

Wow does this really work??

Pls do we keep the bag open or airtight?

Do they keep fresh all winter long? 🙂

Does this work for Armenian cucumbers?

Is it the same for English cucumbers?

🥰💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚😳😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘...THANK YOU!!!!!😊💚

All those people are people who have thrown out spoiled cucs!!
