Komkommer, commonly known as cucumber, is a refreshing, hydrating vegetable with origins tracing back to South Asia. A staple in global cuisines, it is particularly popular in salads, pickles, and sandwiches. Cucumbers are over 95% water, making them an excellent low-calorie option for staying hydrated. Nutritionally, they provide small amounts of vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, and antioxidants. The peel contains fiber, which supports digestive health, so eating them unpeeled is recommended if washed thoroughly. Cucumbers are naturally low in sugars, fats, and sodium, making them a heart-healthy choice. However, pickled versions may be high in sodium, which should be consumed in moderation for those managing salt intake. Their mild flavor and crunch make cucumbers versatile, ideal for raw consumption or as a cooling complement to spicy dishes.
