How to freeze cucumbers

The price of cucumbers tends to go beyond the clouds for winter, so during the season it is best to freeze cucumbers for the winter. Especially if there are a lot of cucumbers. It is very simple and is practiced by many household people, who value their budget... Of course, defrosted cucumbers will not be super tasty and healthy, but in a salad or okroshka will fit, the original aroma will be preserved and will allow you to remember how good it was in the summer. And it is unlikely that store-bought cucumbers are much healthier.

Ripe, dense cucumbers are suitable for freezing. The first thing we do is wash the cucumbers and dry the skin with napkins. Trim the ends of the cucumber and test these tips for bitterness. If these tips are slightly bitter, then they are suitable for freezing; when defrosting, the bitterness will be invisible. But if the bitterness is strong, then such cucumbers are better to get rid of bitterness and then eat. It is better not to freeze strongly bitter cucumbers.

Optionally, the cucumbers can be cut into cubes, slices or semicircles - or left intact. Divide the cucumbers into sachets, squeeze out the air and place in the freezer. In general, this is the whole recipe - you can store cucumbers like this for six months. Defrosting cucumbers is even easier: put the frozen briquette in cool water and wait until the cucumbers are thawed. This method is good because cucumbers fully retain their properties.
