 STORAGE:

Ideal temp: 50°F. This is a crazy temperature! Your refrigerator is much colder than this, and your house is probably much warmer than this. So what to do? We chill all cucumbers on the farm, and indeed in our house too. That means they’re going into the refrigerator. I love cold cucumbers. The reasons for storing them warmer are because cucumbers are prone to chilling injuries… I have never found this to be an exceptional problem with our cucumbers. But we do take precautions if storing in the fridge: always put your cucumbers in a loose plastic bag (never store them loose in the fridge), and put them in the warmest part of your fridge (front of shelves). If you’re keeping them on your counter instead, keep away from ethylene gas - so don’t place them next to fruits like bananas, tomatoes, melons. You’ll get many cucumbers throughout the season so experiment with storage techniques if you find they’re spoiling before you get to them. Slice just prior to eating. Storage life: 7-10 days.

USES:

Cold marinated salads

Sandwiches, bagels

Chilled pureed soup, gazpacho

Cold pasta/noodle salads

Storage:

Ideal temp: 45-55°F. Like cucumbers, a tricky temperature. Keep eggplant in a cool spot, away from sunlight. Avoid sealing in a plastic bag, which can speed decay. If you store in a bag leave it open at the top. Extended periods below 45° can damage the texture and flavor of the eggplant and cause chilling injuries. So, if you refrigerate plan on using the fruits within a few days - avoid prolonged periods of refrigeration. Eggplant is also sensitive to ethylene, a natural gas that causes certain foods to ripen quickly so store away from fruits and tomatoes. We always harvest our eggplant right before sale so it is always fresh as can be. Storage life: 7-10 days.

Baba ghanoush

Caponata
