Date: March 22, 2008 02:26AM When I make my simple little soup (this is my favorite raw recipe so far)
1 cucumber 1 avacado handful of mint Process in food processor I sometimes like to skin the cucumber first. Am I losing a lot of goodies by doing that? Just wondering. -DaveK Re: Cucumbers

Date: March 22, 2008 02:38AM the skin is fiber and nutrient rich, so i peel the cuc if its waxed, and leave it if its not. most store-bought cucs are waxed. the farmers market cucs i get are not waxed.
my favorite soup is essentially the same, just substitute fresh dill for the mint and add lemon juice and black pepper. yummy! Re: Cucumbers

Date: March 22, 2008 02:41AM Well I figured as much. I guess I was secretly hoping somebody would say "The skin has no nutritional value whatsoever!"
But of course I'm not going to fret about it. I'll try your version of the soup if I ever stop being addicted to this one! I can't stop eating it. It's so refreshing and wholesome and makes me want to roll around naked in fields of grass in the springtime! (uhhh. have I said too much?) -DaveK Re: Cucumbers

Date: March 22, 2008 03:05AM That soup sounds delicious, but you've really marketed it to me with that last post.
Does anyone know WHY they wax the cukes? O.o Re: Cucumbers

Date: March 22, 2008 02:10PM I made some more to bring into work today. Every time I make it I put more mint in. I have to get some mint growing this year!
Just wish avacados didn't cost so much.  Re: Cucumbers
