How to choose cucumbers
1. The cucumber body is ovoid, small in shape, with fruit tumors and thorns. The skin is thick, the meat is thin, and the flesh is large. It is mainly used as a raw material for sauces, sour tuts or processing cans.
2. The body of the whip cucumber is long and rod-shaped, with no obvious longitudinal ribs, smooth skin, no tumors or thorns, thin melon meat, large flesh, slightly soft meat, and inferior quality to that of the thorn cucumber
3. The prickly cucumber body is rod-shaped with vertical ridges. There are raised black tumors on the surface of the tender melon. The tumors are covered with prickly hairs. The flesh is small, there are few seeds, the meat is crisp and tender, and the quality is good. It can be cooked raw.
4. The body of the short cucumber is short and rod-shaped, with few fruit tumors and bristles, thin meat, large flesh, and poor quality.
5. Generally, melons with thorns and hoarfrost are newly picked fresh melons; melons with bright green and longitudinal ridges are tender melons. Melons with straight strips and uniform thickness have good meat quality; sai-shaped melons with large belly, pointed points and thin necks are poor development or become old after storage for a long time; yellow or nearly yellow melons are old melons. The melon strips and melon handles wither because they have been stored for a long time after picking.
