Cetriolo, commonly known as cucumber, is a crisp and refreshing vegetable originally cultivated in South Asia but now enjoyed worldwide. It is a staple in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines, often served raw in salads, blended into soups, or pickled for added flavor. Cucumbers are over 95% water, making them an excellent choice for hydration. They are low in calories and provide essential nutrients such as vitamin K, potassium, and antioxidants, which support bone health, heart health, and reduced inflammation. Their high water and fiber content promote digestion and contribute to a feeling of fullness, making them popular in weight management diets. With no fat, minimal natural sugars, and almost no sodium, cucumbers are a nutritious addition to meals. However, consuming pickled cucumbers may involve higher salt intake, so moderation is advised in that form.
