About Half cucumber
Half a cucumber, weighing approximately 150 grams, is a hydrating and nutrient-rich vegetable widely used in cuisines worldwide, particularly Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian dishes. Cucumbers are composed of about 95% water, making them excellent for hydration. They are low in calories, with only about 20 calories per half, and contain essential nutrients like vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, and small amounts of fiber. Cucumbers also have antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, which help combat oxidative stress in the body. Their mild flavor and crisp texture make them a versatile addition to salads, dips, sandwiches, and cold soups. While cucumbers are generally very healthy, some varieties can be high in sodium when pickled or processed. Consuming them fresh and with the peel intact ensures maximum nutrient retention and additional fiber content.
