It is well known that cucumber is a vegetable that contains a lot of water. Extremely useful, tasty and unloading especially for the summer season. But to make it juicy and tasty, cucumber needs care.
The care of this vegetable is more special when it comes to water - in order to be so juicy, the cucumber needs very frequent watering, especially during the period when it has bloomed. Lack of water leads to stress, which increases the content of other substances in the cucumber, which actually cause an unpleasant bitter taste.
If we produce this vegetable ourselves, we need to know that the soil needs to be constantly moist. However, if we are only consumers and buy them as a final product from the market, it is difficult to understand which cucumber is bitter and which is delicious. In the garden, natural cucumbers are more often bitter because they do not use any preparations, unlike those that are grown in greenhouses for mass and year-round production.
We cannot predict what the cucumber will taste like when we buy it or when it is served to us in a restaurant. The chance to be bitter in a restaurant is small, given that it is loaded in large quantities and usually greenhouse cucumbers are bought, not natural ones.
When we make a salad at home, it can also happen to us - do not think that if you had peeled it, things would have changed - if the cucumber is not looked after properly, it will be bitter even if you peel it.
It is said that if you cut the stump of the vegetable and start rubbing it with the rest of the cucumber, the bitterness would come out in the form of foam - how true it is not very clear, but according to some people this method will remove nitrates from the cucumber..
It is not very certain that this rubbing will remove as many chemicals that have been used or will correct the fact that the cucumber has not been watered enough. The only thing you can do is wish the next cucumber did not taste bitter.
