Bitter Cucumbers
What makes cucumbers taste bitter? What causes this in the growing process? I
have had a purchased (from the grocery store) cucumber that was bitter. When I have grown them, the bitter taste happens a lot. |

Stress seems to cause the bitterness; drought being a common stress.
Excess heat or insect attack can also be a stress. Some varieties are naturally less prone to being bitter. Steve Cdonahey41 wrote: What makes cucumbers taste bitter?
