Yes, you can eat cucumber seeds! They are perfectly safe and, in fact, can be quite nutritious.
While some people might remove them, especially in larger cucumbers with more developed seeds, there's no need to do so unless you prefer the texture without them.
Here's a bit more information:
-
Edible and Nutritious: Cucumber seeds are just like any other edible seed. Both the skin and seeds contain minerals and fiber.
-
Taste and Texture: The seeds themselves have a mild, slightly watery flavor. They don't contribute significantly to the overall taste of the cucumber. The texture is generally soft, though they can become a bit tougher as the cucumber matures.
-
Digestibility: Cucumber seeds are easily digestible for most people.
In short, don't hesitate to eat cucumber seeds. They are a natural and safe part of the cucumber.
