The upper part of cucumber is
bitter. The vine of cucumber contains the chemical cooker viatkin which imparts
such taste to it. The upper part of cucumber is connected with the vine and some
of the cooker vitacin enters to the upper part of cucumber through it. If the cucumber is not plucked for a long time, the whole of it may become bitter. It
is not harmful except the taste.
