Cucumber

Cucumbers have a mild, refreshing taste and a high water content. They can help relieve dehydration and are pleasant to eat in hot weather. People eat cucumber as a savory food, but it is a fruit. It also features in some beauty product.

Culinary use:

For people who do not enjoy drinking water, adding cucumber and mint can make it more attractive.

Health benefits:

Cucumber also contains a range of B vitamins, vitamin A, and antioxidants, including a type known as lignin's.

Antioxidants help remove substances from the body known as free radicals. Some free radicals come from natural bodily processes, and some come from outside pressures, such as pollution. If too many collect in the body, they can lead to cell damage and various types of disease.
