Cucumbers have been cultivated for several thousand years for their tasty juicy pumpkin fruits, which are classified as vegetables in cooking. Cucumbers are 97% water. The remaining 3% are vitamins C, PP and group B, as well as potassium, magnesium, copper, selenium, other minerals and organic compounds. Thanks to this composition, fresh cucumbers perfectly remove toxins and mechanically cleanse the intestines of waste products. The calorie content of 100 g of fresh cucumbers does not exceed 14 kcal, so these vegetables can be present in any low-calorie diet, especially fresh and as part of salads.
