....after you cut the end off, does it make it less bitter? My grandma always told me to do this, any truth to it? I know that the more water they get while growing makes them less bitter to begin with. Was my grandma full of it?

It doesn't actually do anything if you've washed the cucumber.0 -
I love cucumbers. I've never rubbed it though.0

It's true. You slice the ends off and rub them (just on each end) before peeling or slicing the rest of it.0 -

Then you're not doing it right!0 -

You are not the only one...my ex-husband would not eat a cucumber unless you cut off one end and rubbed it against the remaining cucumber...but then he was mighty strange to begin with! :laugh: Now me, I have never eaten a cucumber so I can not verify the truth of his belief.0 -

I always heard people saying don't rub your cucumber because it can cause blind...... oh wait, never mind. Ummm cucumber, nope, can't bring anything up from memory on that one. :laugh:0 -
