The Instacart guide to Kirby cucumbers

Cucumbers are very hydrating, nutritious, and even purifying vegetables. Although, technically, the plant itself is an inedible vegetable. The edible part contains the fruit of the plant, and just like with tomatoes, eating them raw or cooked is extremely common. They make a great addition to a health-conscious or active person's diet, and you can easily use them in many recipes, so it's not difficult to frequently shop for them and make total use of them without waste. Use extra cucumber to liven up drinks, for beauty treatments, and so much more.

Kirby cucumbers are a very common type of cucumber to use for pickling. If you need home-pickled cucumbers as an ingredient, such as to spice up a potato salad recipe, Kirbys will do the job. They are valued for being of reasonable size, having a perfect balance of skin mildness and interior sweetness, and are extra tough against the softening effects of pickling brine.

In general, cucumbers are also one of the most diverse culinary fruits in terms of usage, suited to all sorts of recipes from cucumber sandwiches to chilled cucumber soup. This is true of any species, but it's especially true of the Kirby, which is equally delectable eaten fresh, cooked, pickled, or pickled and then cooked.
