About Half a large cucumber
Half a large cucumber is a crisp, hydrating vegetable commonly used in both raw and cooked dishes across various cuisines. With origins traced back to South Asia, cucumbers are now a staple in global recipes, from Mediterranean salads to Asian pickles. This portion, typically weighing about 150 grams, is low in calories, containing roughly 20–25 kcal, and consists primarily of water—over 95%. It provides small amounts of essential nutrients, including vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants like beta-carotene. Cucumbers are an excellent choice for hydration and digestion due to their high water and fiber content, particularly the skin. While their nutritional density is low compared to other vegetables, their versatility and refreshing nature make them a healthy addition to meals. Pairing cucumbers with nutrient-rich foods enhances their benefits. Opt for organic cucumbers or wash thoroughly to reduce exposure to potential pesticides found in the peel.
