Because cucumber contains a vitamin C decomposing enzyme, it will destroy vitamin C in other vegetables. The more vitamin C content in food, the more serious it is destroyed by the decomposing enzymes in cucumber. Tomatoes are typical vegetables rich in vitamin C. If they are eaten together, the vitamin C we take from tomatoes will be destroyed by the decomposing enzymes in cucumbers, and basically the results of supplementing nutrients will not be achieved.
In addition, peppers, cauliflower, celery, bitter gourd and other vegetables also contain more vitamin C, so it is best not to eat them with cucumbers. Vitamin C-decomposing enzymes will destroy vitamin C in other foods. Although it is harmless to human body, it will reduce the absorption of vitamin C in human body. If you want to supplement vitamin C with peppers, celery, Chinese kale and bitter gourd, you'd better not eat it with cucumbers.
