As long as the dead mouse is in your home, the smell will get worse with time as the animal decays. So itâs important to find the carcass ASAP and get rid of it to stop the smell from getting worse. To locate the dead mouse in a wall or enclosed space, follow your nose.
Most cucumber plants contain compounds known as cucurbitacins (âkyew-ker-BIT-a-sinsâ) that cause fruit to taste bitter. At low levels, you arenât likely to detect them. But high levels of cucurbitacins produce extremely bitter fruit. Some cucumber varieties possess a gene that inhibits their formation.
Bitterness varies in the different parts of a cucumber. The stem end, the peel, and the light green area just under the peel have higher concentrations of the bitter compound than the interior flesh. * Start at the blossom end of the fruit. * Slice off one strip of peel, stopping about one inch from the stem end.
