This is another crop from my garden. I adore cucumbers, especially in salads.
Cucumbers contain 97% water, have only about 16 calories per 100 grams and raw contain a multitude of vitamins and other beneficial minerals. Cucumber flesh is basic and therefore balances digestive juices.
Its healing effects are versatile. It lowers blood cholesterol, stimulates the excretion of toxic substances from the body, regulates blood sugar and relieves the pancreas. It is great for stomach problems as it helps to achieve a normal ratio of basic and acidic substances in the body. It also has a beneficial effect on the kidneys, bladder, intestines, liver and gallbladder, eliminates kidney and gallstones. It has a diuretic effect and is therefore excellent for cleansing the body. Cucumber juice is also used in the cosmetics industry. It is great for face and skin care. Externally, it is used for compresses or juice for more beautiful skin and wrinkles around the eyes. It has a cleansing effect, softens, moisturizes and whitens the skin, and is also an effective rejuvenating vegetable.

Have always enjoyed cucumbers. Didn’t know all of these health benefits.
I’m glad I said something new. We really learn all our lives.
Yes you did, and I love these raw with vinegar, salt and pepper.
I didn’t know they have plenty of benefits. I enjoy them.
I’m glad you learned something new. 😊
A nice crop of cucumbers, dear Vidocka … I also like to eat them in a salad
Thank you, Lado. This year the garden is working very nicely.
What do I know, dear Vida … some things do well again others less …. I think there is too much rain for a better crop
ha you can’t fool me that’s a pickle 😉
I love cucumbers. In the summer we slice them add some vinegar, some sliced onions and let it sit for a day, fresh still but nearly a pickle!
Oh, this time I thought I was going to fool you. 😊
I prefer cucumbers with vinegar or cream topping.
it is one of my favorite summer salads, cucumbers, onions vinegar and water.
simple and easy!
and no, you did not fool me 🙂
I am persistent. One day I will be able to deceive you. 😃
i do not doubt that – but not with pickles!
I will remember something already 😃😃
I am not much into cucumbers but do make a salad with special dressing once a year.
I adore cucumbers. I prefer them in a salad or with various toppings.
We always have cucumber when we eat sandwich because it enhances the taste of the meat.
I also plant cucumbers every year in my garden. I adore them.
