Cucumbers are very healthy. I adore the fresh crisp taste of them. Unfortunately, there are always exceptions – for example, my husband has a spastic colon and cucumbers (especially these seed-heavy ones like you’ve pictured) are one of those things that really set off his condition. It’s really hard on him; he LOVES cucumbers. I’ve found if use Persian cucumber or English cucumbers, he has less difficulty, especially if I remove the seeds. I think, too, as a personal preference, that the small Persian cucumbers have a better flavor, especially for mast-e-khiar (it’s a Persian yoghurt and cucumber sauce).
