Cucumber as a vegetable, it can not only be edible, but also can be sliced, and then put on the face, is what we call hydrating mask, its use is very large, the price is super cheap, so many people often buy cucumbers.
But after buying so many cucumbers, do you know the skills of buying cucumbers? Do you want to pick a cucumber? Many people for the purchase of cucumber skills, should look at the shape of the cucumber, but just these 2 points are far from enough, but these 2 points will also buy not very good cucumbers, it is very easy to buy growth hormone cucumbers, so when buying cucumbers should pay attention, then what to pay attention to when buying cucumbers?
1. Look at the spikes of cucumbers
We all know that cucumbers should not buy old, old cucumbers taste poor, but we can't buy imperfect cucumbers, so what are the characteristics of perfect cucumbers? Whether cucumber perfection can be judged by looking at its spikes. In the process of cucumber growth and development, there will be some villi, with the cucumber the longer and more perfect, this villi will slowly become small white spots, that is, spikes, this spike can play a role in maintaining cucumbers, can avoid being corroded by other animals.
You can touch the spikes with your hands. If you feel spiked or very hard and prickly, then cucumbers are not yet extreme. Incomplete cucumbers have a poor taste and an astringent taste. If you touch the spikes with your hands and fall, then the cucumber is ripe, crisp in taste, and not enough moisture.
2. Look at the cucumber gourd
When buying cucumbers, many people will choose to buy thorny top flowers, feeling more powerful, but merchants also understand this, understand what everyone is suitable for, the top flower of cucumbers will fall within a certain period of time. Therefore, some merchants will choose to give cucumber growth hormone in order to allow the top flower and thorn of cucumber to be stored for a long time. Therefore, when choosing a cucumber, you must pay attention to the melon of the cucumber. The guati from which you buy this cucumber is fresh and has thorns on top. If the guati withers, is severely dehydrated, and the top flowers are prickly, it may be growth hormone.
3. Look at the vertical lines of cucumbers
When buying cucumbers, look closely at the vertical lines on the surface of the cucumber. We are going to buy cucumbers with a full vertical distribution. If there are very few vertical lines on the surface of cucumbers, and they are round cucumbers, then there are many seeds in such cucumbers, and they are not sweet enough, so we should buy more vertical lines.
4. Look at the shape of the cucumber
At the beginning, someone once said that many people only know how much the shape of the cucumber is when buying cucumbers, so what shape of cucumbers to buy? And cucumbers mainly have two situations, one is curved and the other is straight, everyone must buy curved cucumbers. Since cucumbers are in the process of growing, the more cucumbers are exposed to the sun, the better they will grow and the taste will be better, but this kind of cucumber is curved. If the cucumber is straight, then the cucumber may not have been exposed to sunlight during the growth process, and this cucumber is relatively not bent and tastes good.
5. Pinch the cucumber
This is the simplest and roughest way, use your hand to pinch the head and bottom of the cucumber, if the cucumber is hard to pinch, then this cucumber is still relatively fresh, we can buy, if the kneading is very soft, then this cucumber is likely to be put for a long time, and the cucumber for many years has less moisture, which is not suitable for everyone to buy.
The above is today I will share with you five places to consider when buying cucumbers. When we buy cucumbers, we can meet these five places so that people can buy plenty of water and fresh cucumbers at home instead of growth hormone cucumbers.
