They don't taste bitter and produce an excellent harvest: the most trouble-free varieties of cucumbers

The earliest varieties of cucumbers were very bitter compared to modern varieties.

The fruits contained a compound called cucurbitacin, which is responsible for the bitterness. The substance protected the fruits from insects.

Over the millennia, cucurbitacin remains in some varieties, but breeders have worked hard to give cucumber lovers a crunchy, bitter-free cucumber.

There are varieties that are easy to care for. Small mistakes of summer residents will not make the fruits bitter.
