Do You Know? Why is this white foam in cucumber?
Do you even take out this foam before eating cucumber?
When picking a cucumber, most
people cut a small part of the top of it and rub it together and then a foam
comes out of it. In some cucumbers it is a little thick and in others it is
like water.
Most people say that rubbing
cucumbers in this way reduces its bitterness, but how true is that?
Let's know =>
According to a study, more
bitterness in cucumber is due to high sun heat and low water content of the
cucumber crop, due to which cucumbers often become bitter.
In fact, food is made in the
leaves of plants and when the chlorophyll in the leaves of cucumber becomes
dark and black due to intense heat, the chemical is added inside the cucumber
and it becomes bitter.
Why do foams form and how to avoid getting
bitter?
When we cut and rub the top of
the cucumber, it does not remove the bitterness of the cucumber, but it does
reduce the effect of the chemical that causes the cucumber to be bitter.
Now the reason for the foam is
that the chlorophyll chemical which is transmitted from the leaf to the
cucumber starts to lose its effect and this is how the foam comes.
How to use cucumber after
removing foam?
Wash or chew the cucumber, eat it
or cut it, rub it or eat it with salt, it is your choice, however, never peel
it, because it is an important source of benefits.
