How To Remove Bitterness From Cucumbers

[@27thAve]

I'm clicking on the notification and saying "Mmhmm" before the video page even loads up lol. You got a stone cold brand Dawi! Plus I'm learning stuff I've NEVER heard before in this video. Plus them knife skills. This channel deserves more views than it gets.

[@KiMatrixToo]

First time I've ever seen anyone take the time to explain how to cut a cucumber with your fingers curled under. I think most of us know to keep our fingers curled under, but here we see how the knuckles are a guide and that is like mind-blowing for me because I have never seen it demonstrated or told. Thank you so much

[@eatahfood]

Most welcome 🤗

[@Brogoshi]

nfn i thought that cucumber thing was hogwash when i saw it on twitter, glad you went the distance to figure out 'the why' and not leave it as a thing people say.

[@kathrynrose5241]

Yes, I learned that from my mother, 65 years ago. You are absolutely correct.

[@olivew.o.j2497]

I just tried the hack and my cucumber is now nice and tasty. You got a new subbie👍 Gracias!

[@noturnunstoned]

My dad was a caterer, he did this with every cucumber every time.

[@cassaleelee]

All the cukes are bitter this summer, for some reason, so I'll try it even though I don't believe it! Never had this problem before!

[@undyingUmbrage413]

Wow! Right into the video, no time wasting. Very informative, thank you.

[@Awebreeze-zm3st]

I've been canning pickles and they're wonderful but, the last batch was so bitter I tossed it. This helps and it'll be incorporated with each new batch. Great video thank you.

[@eatahfood]

Lovely!

[@toyne1]

4:11 thank you Badawi.....ive always wondered about this....and my friends and I discussed it a few times....now there is closure.....i personally dont find the taste of cucumber to be bitter...but I generally love bitter vegetables ...mustard..carraile antroewa...blessed day

[@meenadabhi1575]

As child 👦🏽 in Africa I remember my mother putting bit of salt on the cut ends and rubbing. There be a froth substance. The removes the froth.

[@elizabethbates2023]

I'll be darned, it worked like a charm!! Thank you!!

[@karminiparsan9256]

BOSS knife skill and thank you for the old school explanation👌

[@jayzee3303]

True but I love my fingers..... 😂

[@TashaMarie-hr9zy]

​@@jayzee3303Okay!!! 😂

[@camroonkhan7579]

This is old school, my parents use to do this ever since I know myself, so it’s not the first time for me and some other people 😂

[@lizabetx483]

I thought this was the norm. Learnt it from my mother.

[@pjj9491]

That is hospital business😂

[@lukemakovicka330]

Nicely done sir!! I appreciate the knowledge ❤

[@eatahfood]

You're welcome and thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind support!

[@natashawestbrook6611]

Thank you my brother!! I have thrown soo many cucumbers away❤❤❤❤

[@bettynsibirwa5548]

Thanks, what a GREAT teacher!

[@unclelink]

Well, I thought it used to get sour when it's stolen. Thanks for the info. Now I just need to learn how to grow it properly or find a vendor who is reasonably priced. A knife sharpening video will also be appreciated.

[@camecex]

Never knew about this. Thanks for the lesson Baidawi

[@dragonflydreamer13]

My grandmother and autora always cut off the ends and rubbed them around also.

[@textilady]

Just tried it and it works! Thanks for the cucumber-education!

[@eatahfood]

Most welcome!

[@michelleurso4528]

I threw out at least a dozen bitter ones. Will fry this. I do remember hearing this before

[@cur_marie8712]

learnt something new today! Thanks

[@franromany8096]

Thanks for this. I never knew this and I love cucumbers. Why vinegar in the chow?

[@eatahfood]

Adding an acid in chows helps to preserve the ingredients. It's a form of pickling. I use vinegar sometimes because it has a neutral taste as compared to lime or lemons

[@DestinyAndrews]

I don't even remember when or where I learned this but been doing it for many years. nice to learn about the name of the bitterness tho

[@JaoOoooH]

I learnt this from my brother recently on my trip back home. Best trick!!

[@alysem135]

Awesome thank you!

[@khaiiah]

I've always done this Learnt from my mom But we don't rub it that much.

[@kalonkoi6113]

I'm not a fan of cucumber because of the bitterness... so this is something to try

[@dobekenobe9656]

Great vid very informative. Whats the herb you put in the salad?

[@eatahfood]

Thank you. The herb is called Shadon Beni also known as Culantro

[@elizabethroblyn1392]

Thank you. I too hve experienced the bitterness. 👍🏽

[@unachow7270]

What do you know! I have always done this step not knowing why. 🙏for sharing. Tried this cutting method but I don’t trust a sharpened knife😂Welcome back..I truly missed you! 🥰

[@annettejulien6227]

I know about this, but thanks for the technique on how to cut the thin slices.

[@gailcook7013]

I tried it out of my husband's Garden down here in South Georgia fantastic great job

[@helenprescott8268]

Learnt growing up. Always do it. Thanks for knife cutting lesson.

[@youthecat]

Oh my goodness....watching you slice that cucumber so quickly really made me.... well, I can't say. But it was great!

[@patty9868]

Thanks for the tasty tip. That's why I love this channel. Again. 👀 Looking at the numbers. 100k. 🥂🍾🎊🎉

[@karmajeffers3194]

I know of this process but have not done this for years thanks for the reminder😁👍

[@bettynsibirwa5548]

Please teach me how to cook Jerk chicken & curry goat

[@deboraalexis4016]

Ok ok ! Will definitely try it out to see ..but the thing is the seeds which I remove...to cut the ingestion..bitter part never bother Me but I want to try your discovery and see the difference in taste..appreciate your video always.. take care..

[@donnagale1842]

Yes, grew up seeing my aunt doing it.❤️❤️❤️💯💯

[@donnagale1842]

Just rub it, no need to do it that long🤣🤣

[@kael2jo]

Yes, grew up seeing it done but could never get an answer as to why we did it. Grateful for the answer finally.

[@chrisalmartin5567]

Well...well...mt granny used to do that long time.but I never took her on. Like wow...Will definitely be doing it next time. Love the chow

[@Nitzerette]

My family always did this, but not sure why.

[@devdutdutta8796]

I came here yo get rid of bitterness of cucumber, but am leaving with a cool way to cut them too :)

[@eatahfood]

😎😎😎

[@trinitytrini8912]

Look how learn something here thanks Badawi!! 😊

[@gayleneflower398]

didn't work for me but I peeled the cucumber first, maybe that's why

[@jayzee3303]

I grew up seeing my parents do it and I followed into where I am now in "age" .

[@jkay2747]

Thanks much.

[@arkikali5632]

I will try this--I love cucumbers when they aren't bitter. They're almost like a honey melon. But good grief, the bitter ones are godawful. And... your knife skills are AMAZING.

[@patrinasheppard6476]

Mmmmm! Show off with your knife skills nah! 🤜

[@eatahfood]

🤣🤣🤣

[@seygra20]

I thought the bitterness was in the peel. I usually just peel the skin off and eat the flesh. I will try this

[@ewekneekness2576]

Yeah bro! Age old secret 😉

[@nemesisbreakz]

I think it's a defense mechanism, sort of how some plants give off a milky liquid when cut

[@carlenemorgan8755]

I was taught to rub the piece i cut off back unto the cucumber to remove the bitterness yes

[@amandamcvorran1087]

wtf. wow.

[@BlankCanvasMakeup]

I does try with that cutting technique but failure

[@jinnydeluca]

So, what do you do when this doesn't work? Tastes like straight chemicals, still. 🤔

[@eatahfood]

Unfortunately this isn't a remedy for removing any chemical taste from cucumbers 😢

[@mishacharles7634]

That's a long time method my granny use to do

[@nyalamandela-sturge2375]

My mom taught me this

[@lewisann7714]

I still do it...both top and bottom.

[@natishaboodoo9155]

Still rub the ends

[@angelalebeaux4134]

The audible chewing and smacking are so obnoxious they’re detracting from the video.

[@Susie-se4mv]

Nonsense😂

[@sadiahashmi8860]

Maybe you can't taste the bitterness because you cut it away, it's suppose to be more bitter at the end & less in the rest.
