Cucumbers are crisp, refreshing vegetables originating from South Asia, now a staple in cuisines worldwide. They are composed of about 95% water, making them an excellent choice for hydration. Low in calories and containing essential nutrients like vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium, cucumbers are also high in antioxidants, which help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. Their mild flavor makes them versatile for use in salads, pickles, smoothies, and even skincare. Cucumbers are naturally low in fat, cholesterol, and sodium, supporting heart and digestive health. However, pickled varieties may be high in sodium, so moderation is key for sodium-restricted diets. Whether eaten raw, blended, or infused in water, cucumbers are a nutritious and refreshing addition to a balanced diet.
