About Fresh cucumber
Fresh cucumbers are crisp, hydrating vegetables belonging to the gourd family, originating in South Asia but now widely grown and enjoyed globally. Naturally low in calories, cucumbers are composed of about 95% water, making them an excellent choice for hydration and weight management. They are rich in vitamin K, crucial for bone health, and contain antioxidants such as beta-carotene and flavonoids, which help combat oxidative stress in the body. Cucumbers are also a source of potassium, supporting healthy blood pressure levels. Used extensively in Mediterranean, Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines, cucumbers add a refreshing crunch to salads, sandwiches, and beverages without contributing dietary fats or cholesterol. While they are mildly lower in fiber compared to some other vegetables, their hydrating quality and nutrient profile offer ample benefits to promote overall wellness.
