What can ruin canned cucumbers: common mistakes

After the cucumbers have been in the cellar for a while, they can become cloudy and muddy. This is noticeable even in a still closed jar. The taste of such vegetables is also spoiled. They are too soft, too sour, or bitter. All these phenomena have their reasons. And the FoodOboz editorial team will help you figure them out.

What can spoil canned cucumbers?

1. Many housewives forget to soak cucumbers. The vegetables should be allowed to stand in cold water for 4-8 hours. Then they will turn out crispy.

2. Wrong type of cucumber. For canning, it is best to use fresh cucumbers with black needles. Salad types are not suitable for canning. Cucumbers with white needles are also not suitable for pickling. Overripe cucumbers with bitterness are not suitable.

3. Pouring cucumbers with water from the tap. This is a wrong decision because such water is chlorinated. It is best to use filtered water or water from a well.

4. Unsterilized dishes. If the lids or jars are dirty, the preservation will simply spoil. Also, a very unpleasant and dangerous mold is formed.
