Gurka, commonly known as cucumber, is a crisp, hydrating vegetable celebrated for its versatility and mild flavor. Native to South Asia, cucumbers have become a staple ingredient in various cuisines, from Mediterranean salads to Asian pickles. This nutrient-rich vegetable is low in calories and contains an abundance of water, making it excellent for hydration and aiding in digestion. Cucumbers are high in vitamin K, antioxidants, and trace amounts of vitamin C and potassium, which support bone health, promote skin vitality, and combat oxidative stress. They are often enjoyed raw but can also be pickled for added flavor and extended use. While cucumbers are naturally healthy, some preparations, such as heavily salted or sugar-laden pickled cucumbers, can reduce their nutritional benefits. Versatile and refreshing, cucumbers are an easy, wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
