Which are the cucumbers you can eat the skin?

Question

I bought a cucumber today, and I thought it was an English one (I'm pretty sure those have the nice skin)...anyhow...now that's home and I'm looking...it isn't marked.

How do you tell what kind it is?

Answer 1

and you tell me which cucumber you can,t eat the skin because basically all mend to be eaten

Answer 2

cucumbers wrapped in plastic.

Answer 3

English.  But I eat all the skin, unless I test it and it is tough, in which case, I use a carrot peeler to remove it.  I hear some people remove the seeds of cucumbers.  Good grief!

Answer 4

As far as I know you can eat all cucumber skins, I know I do. If you want to identify your cucumber google images and look for similar products.

Answer 5

English cucumbers, most times they are wrapped in plastic,longer  and cost more than the regular cucumbers =)

Answer 6

I believe they are seedless.

Answer 7

You bought a seedless cucumber, which could come from England or Canada. They are rarely marked but sold in shrink wrap plastic..You would have paid between $2 and $2.50 for it...

Of course you can eat the skin....However, some are a little to hard me at times so I cut it off.

It's kind of like each his own when it comes to skin.

Answer 8

English cucumbers are thinner skinned and taste better than the thicker skinned pickling kind. some cucumbers have been dipped in paraffin and you really don't want to eat that
