Cucumbers are a refreshing, hydrating vegetable with a crisp texture and mild taste, making them a popular choice for salads, sandwiches, and cooling beverages. Composed of about 95% water, cucumbers are excellent for hydration and low in calories, making them ideal for weight management.

They are rich in antioxidants, vitamin K, and several important phytonutrients that support skin health and reduce inflammation. Cucumbers can be eaten raw, pickled, or blended into juices and smoothies for a refreshing treat. Their light, crisp flavor pairs well with a wide range of dishes, offering a fresh crunch.
