Serving size, prep, and portion notes for cucumber
Cucumber is a light, hydrating, low-calorie salad vegetable that is clean on histamine, oxalates, nickel, gluten and sulfites, and low FODMAP in normal servings. Its two flags are moderate salicylates (graded C) and a high lectin grade (E), with the lectins concentrated in the peel and seeds. For most people cucumber is an easy, gentle food, and peeling and deseeding trims the main caveat.
Watch for
Graded high in lectins (E), which sit mainly in the skin and seeds, so peeling and scooping the seeds lowers the load for lectin-sensitive eaters / Moderate salicylates (graded C), a minor flag on a strict salicylate diet / Medium FODMAP only in large volumes; a normal salad portion is low FODMAP
