About Medium half cucumber
A medium half cucumber is a refreshing and hydrating vegetable, commonly used in various cuisines around the world, particularly Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian dishes. Originating from South Asia, cucumbers are celebrated for their crisp texture and mild flavor. This half portion typically weighs around 100 grams, containing approximately 15 calories, making it a low-calorie snack or side option. Rich in water—about 95%—it aids in hydration and is a good source of vitamin K, which supports bone health and proper blood clotting. Cucumbers also provide small amounts of antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, which help combat free radicals in the body. They’re naturally low in fat, sodium, and cholesterol, but the skin contains an added dose of fiber, enhancing digestion. While cucumbers are generally healthy, seasoning them with excessive salt or accompanying them with heavy dips may reduce their nutritional benefits.
