Cucumber tastes very astringent. Is it because there are pesticide residues on the surface?

With the arrival of summer, cucumbers are ripe. It's nice to cook a cold cucumber with beer in summer! I don't know if you have found such a problem. Cucumber will taste slightly astringent if it is not peeled. What the hell is going on here? Many people will say? Pesticide residue on the surface? . Actually, this is a rumor. In rural areas, some farmers grow cucumbers without spraying pesticides, but they still taste astringent. So it's not pesticide residue. The real reason is this. Let Bian Xiao talk about my opinion!

Cucumber tastes astringent because there are substances such as picroside and propanedioic acid on the epidermis of cucumber. Let's start with bitter rosin. Cucumber itself contains a small amount of bitter rosin, mostly at the tail of yellow light, so the tail is also bitter. These substances can improve the stomach and spleen, promote digestion and increase appetite.

We often say that eating cucumber can lose weight, in fact, it is because of this substance in cucumber.

Cucumber is rich in nutrition. Eating in summer can cool off the heat, and obese people can eat more. There is no need to worry that the bitter taste in cucumber is due to pesticide residues, which is just a rumor. Cucumber plays a great role. Some people use cucumbers as masks and facial cleanser, which shows that cucumbers play a great role in beauty beauty! Do not believe you can wash the cucumber and cook it at high temperature to remove the pesticides attached to the surface!
