Actually, we can eat together.

If you just cut cucumber or chew cucumber, because of the short time, the damage to vitamin C is not great. Only when cucumber is beaten into juice or pulp will vitamin C be seriously damaged.
Secondly, because the chemical essence of most enzymes is protein, the enzymes in cucumber are neither heat-resistant nor stomach acid-resistant.
