Sliced cucumbers are a versatile, hydrating ingredient commonly found in global cuisines, from Mediterranean salads to Asian stir-fries. Native to South Asia, cucumbers are composed of about 95% water, making them an excellent choice for replenishing hydration and aiding digestion. Low in calories and carbohydrates, they are saturated with essential nutrients such as vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants. The peel adds fiber and nutrients but can contain traces of pesticides, so washing or peeling may be preferred. Cucumbers are valued for their cooling properties and can support heart health, weight management, and skin vitality. Whether enjoyed raw in salads, pickled, or blended into refreshing beverages, sliced cucumbers are a crisp, nutritious addition to any meal.
