90% water!. it's like trying to cook tissue paper!. yes!. they are better raw or in cold, creamy soups like they make in the middle east and persia!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like them both raw and cooked!.
Perhaps you are not cooking them properly!.
From what I've tried, quick high heat stir fry in a wok is best!. Using extra virgin olive oil, with garlic, and some soy sauce!.
Really, tastes great!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Never heard of anyone cooking a cucumber!. Most veggies IMO taste better raw, they are also more nutritious that way too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Probably because all the moisture is drained and they get all soft!.
Cucumbers are better juicy and crisp!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Some of the things are best eaten raw!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cause they're not supposed to be cooked!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
