About Half cucumber medium
Half a cucumber (medium-sized) is a refreshing, hydrating vegetable commonly enjoyed worldwide, with origins traced to South Asia. Crisp and mild in flavor, cucumbers are a staple in many cuisines, including Mediterranean, Indian, and Middle Eastern dishes. This serving is low in calories—about 8 calories—and contains nearly 95% water, making it an excellent choice for hydration. Packed with essential nutrients, it provides vitamins K and C, along with small amounts of potassium and magnesium. Cucumbers also contain antioxidants, such as beta-carotene and flavonoids, which support overall health. While naturally low in fat, sugar, and cholesterol, cucumbers offer dietary fiber, aiding digestion. When eaten with the skin, you gain extra fiber and nutrients, though washing is recommended to remove pesticides. Versatile and light, half a cucumber is ideal for salads, snacks, or dips, making it a healthy addition to balanced meals.
