It often happens that cucumbers develop a bitter taste.

But there is a little-known recipe that will remove the bitterness from vegetables.

Causes of bitterness

  • Insufficient and irregular watering.
  • A sharp change in weather. During such a period, grow cucumbers in a greenhouse or hotbed.
  • Old varieties. It is advisable to use new hybrid forms of cucumbers that are genetically free of bitterness. Such a well-known variety as "Competitor" is often bitter.
  • The greenhouse or hothouse is located in a well-lit area. It is advisable to shade the cucumber bushes, because hot weather promotes the appearance of bitterness in them.

Sweet top dressing

To remove bitterness, use a special fertilizer.

Ingredients

  • Drinking water 1 liter.
  • Glucose 1 teaspoon or 1 tablet.

Method of preparation

Dissolve a glucose tablet in warm, settled water.
