About Cucumber, peeled, raw
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is a long, cool, crisp vegetable from the gourd family, made up of more than 95 percent water, which gives it its famously refreshing crunch. It comes in three main types: smooth slicing cucumbers for eating fresh, smaller bumpy pickling cucumbers, and thin-skinned, nearly seedless English or burpless varieties. Its clean, mild flavor makes cucumber a natural in green salads, on sandwiches, in Greek tzatziki and cold soups like gazpacho, and sliced into infused water, and it is famously transformed into everything from dill pickles to quick-pickled spears.
Because it is mostly water, cucumber is very low in calories while still offering a little fiber, vitamin K, potassium, and antioxidants, much of it concentrated in the skin, so leaving it unpeeled adds nutrition. Choose firm cucumbers with smooth, deep-green skin and no soft or shriveled spots, and keep them in the refrigerator, using them within a few days while they are still crisp and crunchy.
