I tasted the skin of a cucumber which I was told was very
bitter and had to be peeled, but didn't really notice any bitter
taste at all. What are some other things I can taste to learn
more about the flavor of "bitter"?
There is a substance in orange peels that tastes bitter to most people, but because of genetics some people don't experience this bitter taste. Perhaps the same substance that's in orange peel was present in the cucumber peel? Try some orange peel and let us know if it tastes bitter.
