Re: why does.....
 

wasnt aware that it did, but I have got a right tendency for cucumber butties with a little smidgeon of salt :D

Re: why does.....
 

but that didnt answer my question Mel lol

Re: why does.....
 

Well apparently, its the seeds and skin. So if ya scoop out the seeds and peel all the skin, you're left with ... WELL, NOT RIGHT MUCH CUCUMBER!! so ya won't burp haha

Re: why does.....

Re: why does.....
 

Cucumber doesn't have that effect on me - and I love it on sandwiches with cream cheese. My mother always said you should peel the skin off cucumbers or they would give you indigestion - Nope - skin off or on, they're fine with me. Maybe I've got a cast-iron stomach. ;)

Re: why does.....

Built-in bitterness. Most cucumber plants contain compounds known as cucurbitacins ("kyew-ker-BIT-a-sins") that cause fruit to taste bitter. At low levels, you aren't likely to detect them. But high levels of cucurbitacins produce extremely bitter fruit- so bitter that eating it would cause a riot in your stomach. Cucurbitacin levels increase when a plant is under stress. The concentration of these compounds varies from plant to plant, fruit to fruit, and even within the individual fruit itself. The ability to taste cucurbitacins also varies from person to person. Even insects have varying preferences for cucurbitacins- the compounds attract cucumber beetles but repel other insects, such as aphids and spider mites.

Most cucumber plants contain a bitter compound called cucurbitacin, which can be present in the fruit as well as the foliage. Bitterness in cucumbers tends to be more prominent when plants are under stress from low moisture, high temperatures or poor nutrition.
For some cucumber eaters, the bitter taste can be accompanied by a digestive discomfort known as a burp. Some of the newer cultivars of cucumbers do not have the bitter compound and, thus, no burp. So, some seed companies called their bitter-free cukes "burpless."

PS I have nothing better to do today

Re: why does.....

Hey Flashy, sorry for jumping your thread BUT... I have some really good advice to give you all!! AND IT WORKS!!

Next time you have really bad hiccups, drink a mouthful of Vinegar!! I know, you might think this is disgusting, but I swear it works.
Ginger told me a little old lady had told him about it the other night while he was working. Today, I got really bad Hiccups, he said ' Drink some vinegar, it will go away!! ' After a hour, i was desperate, so took a swig of Vinegar..... I swear, i never hiccuped again after that gob full!! :eek:

Re: why does.....
