Everyone has their own rules in life. Logan Moffitt’s: Sometimes you just have to eat a whole cucumber. With this credo, a young man from Canada has become a Tiktok star in the past few weeks. In your videos you make: cucumber salad.
One of his most successful recipes requires whole cucumber, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine, clove of garlic, pepper oil and – next to cucumber, Moffitt’s favorite ingredient – sodium glutamate. Moffitt’s videos and recipes always impress with their simplicity: no elaborate setup or pretty dishes. The 23-year-old just stood in her kitchen and used a mandoline to slice a cucumber into a clear plastic drinking cup. Then he adds various sauces and toppings, maybe slicing a few spring onion rings with each one, covers it with a lid and shakes it. Complete!
Moffitt has been posting recipe videos for a while now, not without success. But since he started focusing on cucumber a few weeks ago, every video he has trusted has crossed the million mark. 5.5 million users follow “Guy Cucumber” on Tiktok. It was “absolutely insane,” he told “New York Times“about his success. He believes that the videos are well received because the recipes are healthy, simple and easy to prepare for later meals.
In Iceland it is said to have even caused a cucumber shortage. Vegetables are sold regularly there recently. Influencer strategies raise cucumber sales, says the Iceland Vegetable Association BBC along with. However, fewer cucumbers are needed due to seasonal changes, and the start of school puts additional strain on supply chains. However, a similar situation has not yet been experienced.
But you can well imagine that things will be difficult if everyone eats as many cucumbers as Moffitt does in the future: He himself buys 17 cucumbers every week, the cucumber expert said in a video. But there have only been so many recently, as explained to the New York Times: He has so many ideas for recipes that he wants to try out that he eats two to three cucumbers a day. And he was sure: “He can never do any harm.”
