Seasonal Calendar
Information on the cucumber season calendar in the Canary Islands:
- May to October: The peak cucumber season in the Canary Islands runs from May to October. During these months, the weather is warm and humid, which is ideal for cucumber growth. Cucumbers harvested during this time of year are the freshest and have a better flavor than those grown out of season.
- November to April: Cucumbers can be found in Canary Island markets year-round, but they are less abundant from November to April. Cucumbers available during these months may be imported from other countries, so they can be more expensive and may not have the same flavor as cucumbers grown in the Canary Islands.
Selection tips
Here are some tips for choosing cucumbers:
- Look for cucumbers that are fresh and bright green. Fresh cucumbers should be crisp and free of yellow or brown spots.
- Avoid cucumbers that are soft, hollow, or have blemishes. Soft or hollow cucumbers may be rotten.
- The cucumbers should be medium-sized. Very large cucumbers may be old and stringy, while very small cucumbers may be unripe.
- The cucumber skin should be smooth and soft. The cucumber skin should not have cracks or blemishes.
- A cucumber should smell fresh. A fresh cucumber should smell like fresh grass. If the cucumber smells like vinegar or mold, it's rotten.
Conservation
Here are some tips to keep cucumbers fresh longer:
- Store the cucumbers in the refrigerator. Cucumbers can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days. If you plan to store them for longer, it's best to keep them in a cool, dry place.
- Avoid storing cucumbers next to fruits or vegetables that produce ethylene, such as apples or bananas. Ethylene can accelerate the aging process of cucumbers.
- Don't cut the cucumbers until you're ready to use them. Cut cucumbers oxidize quickly and lose their flavor.
- If the cucumbers are soft or have blemishes, you can soak them in water with vinegar for a few minutes. This will help remove the blemishes and make the cucumbers crisp again.
