cucumber always makes me belch?

Question

does it have this effect on everyone?

Answer 1

Be sure you peel it and try scooping out the seeds when you are making your own salads. A lot of people find that resolves the "burping" problem and it improves the flavor.

Answer 2

It used to - it's the seeds - try these other varieties

English cucumbers can grow as long as 2 feet. They are nearly seedless and are sometimes marketed as "Burpless," as the seeds give some people gas.
Japanese cucumbers are mild, slender, deep green, and have a bumpy, ridged skin. They can be used for slicing, salads, pickling, etc., and are available year-round.
Mediterranean cucumbers are small, smooth-skinned and mild. Like the English cucumber, Mediterranean cucumbers are nearly seedless.

Answer 3

Yes cucumbers are one of those foods know to give gas(make you burp).. to help reduce the gas remove the seeds... cut the cumber lengthwise in half ..using a spoon ..scrape out all the seeds ..Second reason for gas is eating too quickly ..gulping food ...you swallow more air when you eat fast and gulp (not fully chew your food )...so the faster you eat ..the more gas ..and third just a little note on cucumbers.. It is one of the hardest foods for your body to digest ..the reason it is such a low calorie food is that it takes more calories to digest it ..then the cucumber itself contains.. ..

Answer 4

yes, for most people, no for me. There is a specially bread cucumber called a "burpless" cucumber. It is an english cucumber, much longer and thinner than a regular one. I eat about 4 large cucumbers a day, and juice them too, so I think my body is just used to them

Answer 5

It's the seeds. You can scoop them out or buy one of those English "seedless" cukes. They aren't really seedless, but the seeds aren't as dense.

Answer 6

you can get burpless cucumbers that have smaller to no seeds....= wont make you burp and doesn't taste any different

Answer 7

They do have the tendency to make me taste them all day long..
