do you prefer cooked cucumber to fresh cucumber?

Hello,Xiaowei! I eat raw cucumber with my lunch daily.It is used in a salad along with beat and carrot.During summer we eat lot of cucumbers to hydrate the body.It helps in digestion and eradicates constipation.The ladies also use it for face cleaning.We also cook the ripe cucumbers and make delicious curry.thanx.

I do not really like cucumber but I would prefer to eat a raw one. I eat cucumber once in a blue moon because I don't really like the taste even though I am aware of the many benefits we can get from it.

I prefer to eat it raw or uncooked since I love the crunchiness. It's also the best way to keep the nutrients since cooking it might destroy the Vitamin associated with it.

well i think its not good to cook cucumber coz it contains water and cooking can reduce the nutrients... cucumber gives wonderful results when used as a liquid applicant as a face cleanser..it cleans and hydrates skin.. it has very beneficial effects on health!

I have never had cucumber cooked I have always had them raw and peeled with ranch dressing, sometimes my grandma used to put them in a salt and pepper vinagar mix with sliced onions and tomatoes as well that was always a yummy salad.

Cucumber is loved for its crunchiness & for its fresh syrup. I think both of these qualities are lost when you cook it & hence would not prefer it cooked. A cooked cucumber will not taste any different from any other gourd. Also all the natural fibers present in the cucumber will be wasted whe we cook them. Howvever i love to eat cucumber in any other fresh form eg: grated cucumber in yoghurt tempered with mustard & chillies is a great appetizer.
