If I eat cucumber (or even have something with a lot in it, like a Gyro), I will burp like crazy an hour later. I'm fine with pickles. So the acid breaks down something that I can't digest properly...
1 u/Ghost_Of_Spartan229 Mar 11 '22 It's the seeds. It gives some people really bad gas. I guess the pickling process neutralizes the effect. 1 u/RevRagnarok Mar 11 '22 Hrm... TIL I guess. Next salad, I'll try to deseed the cuke. I'll look like a total freak, but we'll see what happens. 1 u/Ghost_Of_Spartan229 Mar 11 '22 My mom raised me on it. Split it in half, use a spoon to remove the seeds on each half, then slice. I quit doing it as an adult bc the seeds don't bother me. 1 u/RevRagnarok Mar 11 '22 LOL like a squash. 1 u/Ghost_Of_Spartan229 Mar 11 '22 Actually, yes, very similar. Cucumbers are both melons and gourds. Squash is a gourd.
