How Long Can You Keep Cucumbers in the Fridge

Whole cucumbers will stay good for about one week when properly stored. Cut cucumbers, meanwhile, will last just a few days in the fridge. It’s best to hold off on cutting until right before you’re ready to cook or serve.

How do you know when cucumbers go bad?

After picking a cucumber, it will last for about one week in the refrigerator. Use a couple of your five senses to tell if a whole cucumber has spoiled. If it feels squishy rather than firm, it’s bad, but if only one end is soft, cut it off and eat the firm end. If you see any mold growth on the skin, don’t eat it.
