Cucumber, a crisp and refreshing fruit commonly classified as a vegetable, has origins in South Asia but is now a staple in global cuisines. Low in calories and high in water content, cucumbers are an excellent hydration aid and a great choice for weight management. They are also rich in vitamins K and C, along with antioxidants that help combat inflammation and promote healthy skin. Cucumbers are versatile, adding crunch to salads, sandwiches, and sushi or serving as a light snack. With minimal sugars and fat, they fit well into most diets, though their mild flavor pairs best when combined with other nutrient-rich foods. Whether enjoyed raw, pickled, or blended into beverages, cucumbers are a simple and healthy addition to meals.
