Oh YES! Why can I buy them naked in a greengrocer's but not in a
supermarket?
I think there is a sound reason for shrink-wrapping cucumbers.
I grow a lot of cucs and find that if I pick them today, they are limp
tomorrow, whether kept on the worktop or in the frig. I think it's
a dehydration thing.
I now cut cucumbers when they are fully ripe and cling-film them
immediately. Kept at frig temperature they stay crisp and fresh for
days. Just bring them out for a couple of hours to warm to RT before
use.
