About Old cucumber

Old cucumber, also known as mature cucumber, is a variety of cucumber that has been allowed to fully ripen on the vine. Common in Chinese, Southeast Asian, and Malaysian cuisines, it is frequently used in soups and stews due to its rich flavor and tender texture when slow-cooked. This ingredient is low in calories and contains essential nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and fiber. It also provides beta-carotene, an antioxidant that supports eye health, and its high water content aids hydration. While the outer rind is tough, it is often removed before cooking. Old cucumber is considered beneficial for cooling the body and aiding digestion, making it a staple in many traditional remedies and refreshing dishes. However, like its younger counterparts, it is low in protein and fat, so it is typically paired with other ingredients for a balanced meal.
