We all love cucumbers in any of their flavors. And in fresh, and lightly salted, and salted. Not a single celebration is complete without cucumbers! Pickled cucumbers make us happy all year round. But there is one BUT: not all varieties are suitable for curling. In this article, we will figure out which cucumbers are suitable for preservation, and they really turn out to be delicious.

Options for pickling cucumber varieties

There are 3 categories of cucumbers: salad, they are used fresh, these are cucumbers with white spines or without them at all, then the skin is smooth, thick, poorly permeable to brine, from white to dark green. Salty tasteless. The second category - salted, medium-sized, used for food and fresh, and salted, and salted, they are very tasty and with "crunchy". The third category is universal (hybrids), 11 cm long, used for food fresh, salted, and better pickled.

Criteria for pickling varieties: length up to 16 cm, the peel is dense, just pierced, the skin should be in black thorns (they make the skin porous, and the brine will go inside the greenery faster, giving the cucumber “crisp” in the future).
