Cucumber is the most popular and cooling vegetable of summer. Which is used everywhere from salad to diet food. But often people remain confused while buying it whether cucumber is seeded or seedless? Many times, a cucumber that looks fresh and green on the outside turns out to have more seeds on the inside, due to which its taste becomes slightly bitter or watery and the enjoyment of eating becomes less. Especially when you are taking cucumber to make salad or raita, then cucumber without many seeds is considered better.
Nowadays different types of cucumbers are available in the market. Some are thin and soft, while some are thick and full of seeds. It is not easy for a common consumer to identify which cucumber will be right from inside. Let us also tell you in this article about some such easy and smart tricks by which you can know whether cucumber is seeded or not.
Very large and thick cucumbers often have more seeds. Choose medium sized cucumbers (not too small, not too big), as they have less seeds and better taste.
The color of fresh and seedless cucumbers is dark green and shiny. If the cucumber has started turning yellow or looks dull, it may have too many seeds in it and the taste may be bitter. Avoid taking such cucumbers.
If the cucumber is firm then it is fresh and has less seeds. If it is too soft or feels soft when pressed, then understand that there may be more seeds inside.
Cucumbers with smooth and thin skin usually have fewer seeds. Cucumbers with very raised or thick skin may contain more seeds. Therefore, be sure to check it before buying.
Desi (thin and small) cucumbers often have fewer seeds, while larger hybrid cucumbers may have more seeds. Therefore, it is better to choose local or desi cucumber.
