About Half of a large cucumber
Half of a large cucumber is a refreshing and hydrating ingredient commonly used in various cuisines, especially in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian dishes. Cucumbers are predominantly water—up to 95%—making them a low-calorie option ideal for hydration and weight management. Rich in vitamins and minerals like vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium, they contribute to bone health, skin vitality, and overall well-being. Cucumbers also contain antioxidants, such as beta-carotene and lignans, which promote cellular health and have potential anti-inflammatory benefits. The mild, crisp flavor makes them versatile for salads, snacks, or beverages like cucumber-infused water. The skin is a good source of fiber if left unpeeled, aiding digestion, though it is best to choose organic cucumbers to avoid pesticide exposure. While not calorie-dense, cucumbers are best paired with nutrient-rich foods to create a balanced meal.
