June - cucumber

Summertime is cucumber time. Especially on hot days, the vegetable is eaten in large quantities due to its refreshing taste and high water content.

However, cucumbers not only contain a lot of water but also keep you fit in general.

Because:

• Cucumbers contain important antioxidants.
• Cucumbers are good for the skin.
• Cucumbers stimulate digestion.
• Cucumbers can lower blood sugar.
• Cucumbers support brain activities.
• Cucumbers are slimming aids.
• Cucumbers have a diuretic effect.

By the way: Due to their high water content, fresh cucumbers should be stored in a well-sealed container/bag in the refrigerator. Otherwise, the moisture will evaporate.

But even if the cucumber has been in the refrigerator for a while, it can still be wonderfully used for this delicious cold soup: Recipe for Cold Cucumber Soup.
