Cucumber (Cucumis sativus)
Other names: Cucumber
Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
The cucumber, also known as Cucumber, is one of the most popular vegetables in the world. Originally from Asia, it is now grown almost everywhere on the planet. It prefers a warm climate and responds to hot weather by growing very quickly. These plants are characterised by their long and thin fruits, which are known for their characteristic light green colour and cool taste. Sown cucumbers are rich in water and vitamins, especially vitamins C and B, and also contain many minerals such as potassium, copper and manganese, which are very beneficial to the body.
Cucumbers are used in a wide range of food products and dishes. It is perhaps best known for its use in salads, where it adds its unique flavour and cooling effect. Cucumber is also often sliced and served as a garnish or side dish to various dishes such as sandwiches or grilled meats. However, its use is by no means limited to fresh foods. Cucumber seed is the main ingredient in many traditional preserved foods such as pickles, pickled cucumbers and cucumber salad. In Eastern Europe, especially in Russia, cucumbers are often made into a fermented drink with a refreshing taste. Cucumber seed is also often used in cosmetics - cucumber slices on the eyes are a popular answer to puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.
