Cucurbitacin is concentrated in leaves, stems, and roots.

Usually, this Cucurbitacin compound is concentrated in leaves, stems, and roots. But sometimes, it also enters the fruit and resides in the stalk, near the shell, occasionally crept into the middle of the fruit. That's why sometimes you eat the cucumber head and feel a little bitter.

In addition, research by Purdue University (USA) also shows that factors can cause fruit to be bitter - that is, lack of water, temperature, and insufficient moisture.

According to experts, cucumbers are adapted to cool, wet weather. If the heat is too high, the weather is hot, arid, and it will cause malnutrition.

Low sunny weather, low temperature causes damage to the root system, water absorption, poor nutrients - partly affecting the stem of the melon, causing a lot of Cucurbitacin to make the melon bitter.
