Storage Notes: Cucumbers must be kept in a narrow temperature band: colder storage causes chilling injury (pitting, water-soaking, decay) within days and warmer storage causes rapid yellowing, and they should be kept away from ethylene. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
