About Timun
Timun, known as cucumber in English, is a refreshing, low-calorie vegetable widely used in various cuisines, including Southeast Asian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern dishes. Native to South Asia, it is prized for its versatility and hydrating properties, consisting of about 95% water. Timun is rich in vitamins K and C, which support healthy skin and immune function, while also providing small amounts of potassium and magnesium that promote heart health. Its high water content makes it an excellent choice for hydration and weight management, as it provides volume without excess calories. The peel contains dietary fiber, aiding digestion when consumed unpeeled. However, cucumbers can be high in naturally occurring compounds called cucurbitacins, which may lead to mild bitterness in some varieties. When pickled, sodium levels increase, which could impact heart health in sensitive individuals. Overall, fresh timun is a nutritious and hydrating addition to a balanced diet.
