Lebanese cucumbers are small, slender cucumbers with smooth, thin skin and a crisp, refreshing texture. Originating from the Middle East, they’re a staple in Lebanese and Mediterranean cuisine, frequently featured in salads, dips, and wraps. They are mild in flavor and often consumed raw, making them versatile and easy to pair with various dishes. Lebanese cucumbers are low in calories, carbohydrates, and fat, making them a healthy choice for snacking or incorporating into meals. They’re an excellent source of hydration, as they are composed of over 90% water, while also providing small amounts of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Their thin skin means they can be eaten unpeeled, preserving nutrients. With no cholesterol and minimal sodium, they make a heart-healthy addition to any diet. However, their nutrient concentration is lower compared to darker green vegetables, so they’re best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
