What is the total fat percentage of cucumber wedges?

Answer 1

The biggest mistake that people make when figuring out the fat content in a wedge of cucumber is focusing on too much on the wedge. The fat content can not be calculated from the wedge but rather from the cucumber from which the wedge was taken.

For instance, a fat wedge from a skinny cucumber will have far less fat percentage than a skinny wedge from a fat cucumber. Fat cucumbers have more fat than skinny cucumbers... thats what makes them fat.

Store bought skinny wedges are a lie! Manufacturers rarely use nice skinny cucumbers too make spears, sadly, they make them out of huge fat cucmbers....and people don't even know!!!!!!! :/ So only buy cucumber spears from the store as a last resort.

When at a restaurant: It goes without saying, waiters rarely know what they're talking about. So why trust them with vital information guarding your fat percentage intake? Please, don't just inquire about the size of the restaurant cucumbers, I implore you to ask to see the cucumber you will be eating. Even if the waiter seems trustworthy, there are too many subjective elements that could sway his judgement as to what constitutes a fat cucumber, ie. the waiter could be fat, have fat fingers or a large genitals to name a few. Fat percentages can only get in to you when you eat, so whether wedged or not make sure you know about its fat.

A different answer: cucumbers contain only a negligible amount of fat and are good to eat for one who is on a very-low-fat diet.
