Cucumbers (Cucumis sativa)

Cucumbers were enjoyed by the ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks; though they
were first cultivated in India nearly 3,000 years ago. As they are
95% water, cucumbers are a refreshing, cool fruit-just like their
melon relatives. Cucumbers' high vitamin E content makes them an effective
skin conditioner as well.

Storage Tips:

  • Cucumbers can be stored in the fridge for a week or so.
