To maximize their nutrient content, cucumbers should be eaten unpeeled. Peeling them reduces the amount of fiber, as well as certain vitamins and minerals.
@@motivationaldoc Thanks for responding, but I was only wondering why you had the skin off. Well, now I know. As you can tell, I'm a subscriber and watch your videos with great interest. Again my thanks.
Used to I suffered from insomnia. Year ago I grew lots of cucumbers on my backyard and I was eating like crazy. One thing you didn’t mention that cucumbers detox the body. Shortly the insomnia was over and I was sleeping all nights until now. This year I’m planting cucumbers again because I make delicious salad with little salt, pepper, sour cream, dill and lemon juice and eat with dinner. You can add a little bit of chives if you like
♥️ Also I love and make a cucumber salad with tomatoes, raw onions, garlic(or powder), basil, oregano, with vineger & oil(I like olive oil), salad.Thank you always Dr.Mandel.
@@is4life862 Peel the tomatoes before slicing or chopping. It's my understanding that the lectins that Dr.Grundy talks about, are on the outside of the fruit, or beans, or ???.........
@@HansDelbruck53 Keep your English corrections to yourself. This is not a video about how to write proper English.

Also highly reduces uric acid too,therefore is a "must" for meat eaters: just eat every time you eat some meat dish and you'll never get uric acid accumulation which brings to many deseases.
I've been going through a life threatening issue. I've been craving cucumbers & fresh pineapples. Thank you Doc. Your body tells you what to eat & what not to eat.
I started bringing one hole cucumber to work with me as a meal replacement. And sprinkled with Himalayan pink salt to taste. H.P.Salt has 93 different minerals in it, as a bonus for health. 😊
They should also be eaten along with a high quality fat like olive oil, which helps to release the nutrients. Drizzle with o/o and a sprinkle of quality organic salt like Real Salt. GOOD!
the way I like to eat.If the cucumber is organic then I won't peel the skin otherwise peel the skin cut them in length squeeze lemon on cucumber sprinkle some Himalayan salt on it & little red pepper. Enjoy
You should always eat the peel of any vegetable or fruit. There are cleaners you can buy for your produce. This will take off any pesticides or harmful agents added to the soil. Oh and use a vegetable brush with the cleaner.
Thank you Dr.Mandell ! Try slicing cucumbers with skin and mix with fresh tomato chunks and put in some apple cider vinegar & a bit if avocado oil, garlic & any other spices you like. Refrigerate & eat cold for a refreshing side
I recommend cacık ( pronounced judgejouk) it’s a Turkish dish, prepared with cucumber, garlic’ salt and mainly yogurt chop a few garlic clove and thin slice of cucumber in to a yogurt and ad a soup spoon of fine cave salt and stir it until I turns out liquid keep it in fridge for best taste
I’ve been growing cucumbers in my home garden for thr past three years. Only one plant this year, but I’ve harvested about 10 so far this year. Have a few more still on the vines. Actually eating one right now. I like to put some apple cider vinegar, potassium, sea salt and dill weed. Great snack or side dish for a meal
I have both too. I'm gonna search Dr. M's other vids to find the answers. Afterall, Dr. M's videos have helped me with so many other health issues, I'm certain to find the solutions to these as well :) good luck to us all! 🥰 I'll post the links here when I find the videos.
I can’t Enough for a lovely Gesture for my birthday 🎂 it means so much coming from a very good Person & with a Great Heart always May God bless you and your family your friend Laura bye ,Have a great weekend with lot’s of Blessings 🙏☺️😘😘
I also love cucumber and it has done an absolute wonder for my health too. Is the first item on my shopping list. Great on sweet potatoe cakes or a healthy gluten free bread with pepper and seasoning. Smaller variety is perfect to pickle in white wine vinegar for prolonged freshness and a variety on a menu. Diced English cucumber and Greek yogurt and garlic is A1. Thank you Dr Mandell Bless you more and have a great day too...🎖🎖🎖
Also watching from the UK. I would love to try this but I’m in TOTAL lockdown, being one of the extremely vulnerable who can’t go out at all. I can only get food deliveries once a week if I’m lucky. But my cucumbers never keep fresh for a week. Has anyone any tips please?
This is in. I have always loved cucumbers and I like the cucumbers that have the seeds. The cucumbers in the stores nowadays with no seeds do not taste as good. I love the good seeded cucumbers sliced and with a little good pink salt.
Jacklyn Lawrence I agree that the seedless watermelons are not very good. I have bought several of the small seedless watermelons in the grocery stores and I have not ever found one that was any good. Not sweet at all and apparently not ripe either, even if they do have that yellow spot on the bottom that is supposed to indicate a ripe melon.
I believe that high GMO is the reason for not seeds, if they are organic, i bet the seeds are in there, It's the way God made them so they could reproduce more plants.
@@patriciaque197 The skin of cucumbers is safe to eat from grocery store's as long as you make sure to purchase organic cucumbers. Organic cucumbers are only coated in food grade edible non-toxic wax's and non-toxic resins.
@@plantsarewonderful7516 really? Ever see the vid where a guy dewaxes an organic cucumber? It's a few ounces of wax. Sure it's natural, from the lac bug.
I miss fresh cucumbers from my ex-husband's garden that I ate for 15 years. Cukes are one vegetable that taste every so much better when they are home grown without the wax that's placed on them in the grocery store. I would peel them and put a little salt and pepper on them and eat them without slicing, along with a big, beautiful Celebrity tomato!
Greetings Dr. Mandell. You've done it again. I guess I need to step up my game and incorporate more cucumbers in my diet. Truly, it is sooooo benefical to stay hydrated and I am always about reducing pain. Yipeeee. As, usual thank you for sharing and caring for all. Stay safe, and healthy as "i"await the next video. God Bless!
I just chop cucumbers and some garlic add some plain yoghurt and salt voila we call it cacik and eat it with meals like a mezze or salad, I prefer dried mint some prefers dill and olive oil on top good apitite ❤💙🇹🇷

How is it that the plate you showed had the skin removed?
What about pickles? Love pickles. Hate raw cucumber. Help.
Thanks for the info..
Sandra E. I do at times skin them because I don’t like eating too much fiber before bed.

You have changed my life completely in 6 months I have lost 85 lbs. and I eat so good everyone complains! Thanks for all you do Dr. Mandell
Found myself hating them for years and then started eating them everyday and love how it makes me feel.

Great comment...glad they helped you with your insomnia. Take care. Gareth
do you peel it or eat the shell?
Try cucumber with Ranch , black pepper, croutons and fresh garlic , you will be in love with your palate
I started eating cucumber, tomato and green pepper... I grate all of them and then I add yoghurt....it is so hydrating and detoxifying ❤
Ever since childhood I have always loved consuming cucumbers
I just love cucumbers I eat it with lemons sometimes with a little salt and pepper don’t judge me. I make a Cucumber and lemon water😍 so refreshing.
Nurse4 A Lifetime, you should try cucumber and watermelon...sooo good and refreshing 😁
😋Exactly how I like to eat cucumbers ... lemon, pepper, and salt!
Me too, love them with lemon salt and black pepper. Yum
Eating it this way is so Mexican 😂 😂 🇲🇽 I am Mexican and I love them with Lemon and Salt and so does everyone in Mex
I do like eating tomatoes, celery and cucumbers with lemon and salt in a bowl.

Me too! 😊

Darlene everything is good except the tomatoes. Tomatoes is one of the items to cause a leaky gut.
I like EVOO with Lemon Juice dressing.....

Yes, and seeds also. Roma tomatoes and cherry tomatoes have fewer lectins.

Coincidence, I just moved my cucumber seedlings to a sunnier spot. They will be my daily food when grown up and fruiting.
Dr. Mandell, thank you for this video. Although I love cucumber, I don't eat much. I will make an effort to eat more.
Cucumber has been my main food for the past fifteen years. I don’t feel tired…hungry or sleepy. However when I go to sleep I sleep very well .
great!
Cucumbers are one of my favorites. I eat them all the time.
Thanks, great news because I love English cucumbers 🥒 with organic cups of guacamole 🥑 and hummus been eating for years.
I’ve been growing cucumbers in my home garden for thr past three years. Only one plant this year, but I’ve harvested about 10 so far this year. Have a few more still on the vines.
Actually eating one right now. I like to put some apple cider vinegar, potassium, sea salt and dill weed.
Great snack or side dish for a meal
Nice cold cucumber 🥒 slices with ranch dipping is the best
Right on Snake
What a name? I wouldn't come near you..yes...I can write. Begone S....
Ranch is it dairy?
Hidden Valley Ranch has monosodium glutamate in it.
I usually just put lemon juice on it and add a little salt.

Thank you lovely Dr Mandel! I love cucumber in a Greek salad. It reminded me of just what my tired and aching body was in need of!
I concur!!!!! The absorption is miraculous!
I like to put lots in cucumber in my homemade gazpacho. Sometimes I puree it until smooth, so I can drink it as a vegetable cocktail.
You are a blessing Dr. Mandell
I was leaning towards pizza, now I want cucumbers instead. I’m so grateful for this! Thanks for motivating me to stay healthy :)
I pick them daily from the garden. I eat just to not throw into compost.
