CUCUMBER

Cucumbers are a versatile, refreshing, and hydrating vegetable (or technically, a fruit) that can be enjoyed in a wide variety of dishes, both raw and cooked. Whether sliced into salads, pickled, or used as a garnish, they are known for their crisp texture, mild flavor, and impressive water content. A great source of vitamins and antioxidants, cucumbers not only offer health benefits but also add a cooling, refreshing element to meals, especially during the warm summer months.

Cucumbers are composed of about 95% water, making them excellent for hydration. They are a low-calorie food, making them a good option for those looking to stay hydrated while maintaining a balanced diet. Although cucumbers are low in calories, they contain important nutrients such as vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium. They provide antioxidants and are good for overall health.
