Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

August 15 - Japanese Cucumbers:

Good-quality Japanese cucumbers are similar to English cucumbers - they are firm, thin, long and an even dark-green color. However, the Japanese cucumber has prickly skin.

Avoid cucumbers that are soft, yellow or wrinkled on the ends. Available year-round, peaking June through September.

OASIS has much more information on cucumbers.
