English cucumber vs standard cucumber

This cucumber juice is easiest with an English cucumber: because you don’t have to peel it! Alex and I typically buy English cucumbers because we like the flavor so much better. You can definitely use standard cucumber here: just peel it before using. But most of the nutrients in a cucumber are contained in the skin, so it’s another pro for using an English cucumber if you can find it! Here are the major differences between English cucumber vs standard cucumber: English cucumber is long with very thin skin, and the seeds are small. The flavor is sweeter than the standard cucumber, and it doesn’t need to be peeled or seeded before eating. Because the thin skin is so fragile, it’s sold with a plastic covering in the grocery store. is long with very thin skin, and the seeds are small. The flavor is sweeter than the standard cucumber, and it doesn’t need to be peeled or seeded before eating. Because the thin skin is so fragile, it’s sold with a plastic covering in the grocery store. Standard slicing cucumber is shorter, with very thick, dark green skin and very large seeds. The thick skin and seeds can be bitter, so they’re often removed when cooking. We recommend removing it for this cucumber juice recipe.
