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.
The largest cucumber fell from the plant in August and soon started to turn yellow and decomposed. It measured a whopping 47 inches in a straight line from top to bottom or 50 inches if you included its curve. The second vegetable already measures 43 inches and is still growing slowly.
