⚠️ Possible Considerations (Rare)
Pesticide Residue
- Cucumbers often rank high on the “Dirty Dozen” list for pesticide residue.
- ✅ Solution: Choose organic or wash thoroughly with a produce brush.
Digestive Sensitivity (in Some)
- A few people with IBS may react to cucumbers due to cucurbitacins (bitter compounds).
- ✅ Tip: If your cucumber tastes bitter, skip it—sweet varieties are gentler.
