EverydayFresh

Cucumber is a crisp, water-rich vegetable belonging to the gourd family, recognized for its mild flavor and high hydration value. Composed of approximately 95% water, it provides minimal calories while contributing small amounts of vitamin K and potassium. Typically consumed raw, its firm texture and refreshing quality make it ideal for salads, crudité platters, or infused water, with the skin offering additional dietary fiber.
