Whether pickled, juiced, or made into sorbet, there are so many exciting ways to store and use cucumbers!
Best at Room TemperatureWhile you may be partial to a cold cuke on a summer day, interestingly, they are actually best when stored at room temperature.
Researchers from the University of California Davis found that cucumbers kept below 50°F are faster to decay, and more prone to wateriness and pitting, than those kept at room temperature.

Land of the Long White Cloud
Botanically, New Zealand is an extraordinary country. Because it drifted off from the rest of the world so early on, its natural flora is very limited and with the exception of the red flowers of the Metrosideros (New Zealand Christmas Tree), flowers tend to be insignificant, with a natural wooded landscape that is predominantly a mixture of trees in many shades of green and tree ferns.
