Hi Everyone. Can anybody provide a quick guide or details on nutritional value of cucumbers? I know for a fact its rich in fiber but other than that, are there any other good benefits from cucumbers?

It is eaten added some times with sugar and sometimes with salt and pepper or chilli powder.It can be taken as juice also.It is a member of Cucurbitaceous family, like melons.In summers we see all these available for us to keep the hot summer away and cool us.

As far as I know, cucumber is a good diuretic. It helps in the flow of urine which maybe helps prevent urinary tract infection. Also, I've seen my mother put slices of cucumber on her eyes coupled with cream on her face before going to sleep. Maybe, it helps to refresh the eyes or is healthy for the eyes.

Cucumber is a very useful vegetable and it is very good for our body because it has a lot of fiber in it and it also keeps our body cool and cucumber juice if applied on skin makes our skin tone lighter and it also relax our eyes when kept on it.
