Medium sized cucumbers with soft small seeds have better flavour. Botanically cucumbers are classed as fruit. They are one of the oldest vegetables, cultivated for thousands of years in India and parts of Asia. Some people believed that cucumbers were poisonous and they used to scrape their skin with a fork to let the poisons out! Of course, cucumbers are not poisonous.
