Korean cucumbers, known for their crisp texture and subtle sweetness, are a popular variety of cucumber originating from South Korea. Smaller and thinner than traditional cucumbers, they have a delicate green skin and minimal seeds, making them ideal for fresh dishes and pickling in Korean cuisine, such as kimchi and salads. Nutritionally, they are low in calories, fat, and carbohydrates, while being a rich source of hydration due to their high water content. Korean cucumbers also provide small amounts of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, which contribute to healthy digestion, immune support, and balanced blood pressure. Their low-calorie profile makes them a healthy addition to meals, though over-reliance on pickled variations may introduce higher sodium levels. Versatile and refreshing, Korean cucumbers are a health-conscious choice for enhancing the flavor and nutrition of any dish.
