About Kurkku
Kurkku, commonly known as cucumber, is a crisp and hydrating vegetable originating from South Asia and widely used in global cuisines. Its mild flavor and refreshing crunch make it a staple in salads, pickles, and a variety of dishes. Nutritionally, kurkku is low in calories and fats, making it an excellent choice for weight management. Packed with water, it helps maintain hydration and supports kidney function. It contains valuable nutrients such as vitamin K, potassium, and antioxidants, which contribute to bone health, cardiovascular health, and reducing inflammation. The peel is rich in fiber, aiding digestion, though opting for organic or thoroughly washed cucumbers is advisable to avoid pesticide residues. While generally healthy, excessive consumption of pickled cucumbers can be high in sodium, which may affect blood pressure. Overall, kurkku is a versatile and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
