Tips
If you're using an English cucumber, which is long, has thin skin, and relatively small seeds, then there is no need to peel or deseed it. If you are using a Garden cucumber (as it's commonly known in the US), which is shorter, has thick dark green skin, and larger seeds, it is recommended to peel it and remove the seeds before grating.
