Cucumber with skin is a refreshing, hydrating vegetable commonly used in salads, smoothies, and various cuisines worldwide, from Mediterranean dishes to Asian stir-fries. Originating from South Asia, cucumbers are now grown globally and prized for their mild flavor and crunch. Keeping the skin intact boosts its nutritional content, as the dark green peel is rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins like K and C. With over 95% water, cucumbers are excellent for hydration and supporting weight management. They also provide small amounts of potassium and magnesium, which contribute to heart health. While cucumbers are naturally low in calories, carbs, fats, and proteins, their nutrient density varies, and larger servings may be needed for substantial nutrition. Opt for organic or thoroughly washed cucumbers to minimize pesticide residue on the skin.
