Optimum Temperature
10-12.5°C (50-55°F)
Storage of cucumber is generally less than 14 days as visual and sensory quality deteriorate rapidly. Shriveling, yellowing, and decay are likely to increase following storage beyond two weeks, especially after removal to typical retail conditions. Short term storage or transit temperatures below this range (such as 7.2°C (45°F)) are commonly used but will result in chilling injury after 2-3 days.
