inedible cucumbersLive Science
•Squirting cucumbers thicken and stiffen to eject seeds with 'remarkable speed and precision,' study finds
80% Informative
Squirting cucumbers are named after the way they expel their seeds in a violent jet of liquid.
New research suggests these inedible cucumbers accumulate fluid in their fruit, building so much pressure inside the cucumbers that they burst.
Researchers used time-lapse photography, CT scans and a high-speed camera to map the mechanics and trajectories of the seed ejections.
