About Half a cucumber
Half a cucumber is a refreshing, low-calorie vegetable often associated with Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines. Composed of about 95% water, it’s an excellent choice for hydration and a light snack. Nutritionally, it provides small amounts of vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium, with only about 8 calories per half cucumber (approximately 150 grams), making it diet-friendly. It’s naturally low in fat, cholesterol, and sodium. The skin is rich in fiber and antioxidants, but peeling it may reduce its nutrient content. Cucumber’s mild, crisp texture makes it versatile for salads, sandwiches, and infusions in drinks. While it doesn’t offer significant macronutrients, its hydrating properties and trace minerals contribute positively to overall health. For maximum benefits, choose organic or scrub thoroughly to minimize pesticide exposure.
