What is the difference between Japanese cucumber and regular cucumber

First of all what you mean by Japanese cucumber can be understood in two ways.

A.? Cucumber of Japanese origin.

B.? What is generally known as Japanese gherkins, also known as huckleberries, originating of course in China.

First, let's talk about A. The difference with ordinary cucumbers:

Origin Japan, there is a higher tariff, so the price is certainly not low.

Japan's degree of agricultural mechanization is higher than the price, the sub-inspection system is more evening. So the safety of pesticide residues and so on is higher than the domestic ordinary cucumber. The appearance may also be a little bit more beautiful.

In terms of nutritional value, there is almost no difference. The main component of the cucumber is water, the nutrient elements compared to other vegetables is relatively low.

Again, in case of B, the difference with ordinary cucumber:

The shape is thicker and shorter, so it has more flesh, which makes it suitable for stir-fry. Fewer thorns, unlike cucumbers that stick.

In terms of nutritional value, there is almost no difference.

Because cucumber has little calories, it's a great recipe for a diet meal.
