About this app

The cucumber originated in India, where many varieties are still grown today. Some sources show that cucumbers have been cultivated for at least 3,000 years! They were believed to be introduced to other parts of Europe by the Greeks or Romans and today grow on just about every continent worldwide.

Records indicate that certain species of cucumbers first appeared in France in the 9th century, England in the 14th century and North America by the mid-16th century. Botanically speaking, cucumbers are actually fruits, closely related to melon, yet most people think of them as being vegetables just like tomatoes and squash (both also fruits!).

Cucumbers have been a popular vegetable used in Indian traditional medicine since ancient times. Known for their antidiabetic, lipid-lowering and antioxidant activity, cucumbers have a detoxifying, cleansing effect on the body.

They’re also naturally “cooling” and a great way to prevent dehydration, constipation and overheating.

More than just a way to reduce puffiness around your eyes, cucumbers also have some impressive benefits when it comes to fighting free radical damage and inflammation. They contain some powerful polyphenol compounds that can help naturally slow aging caused by oxidative stress.

Commonly known as the cucumber in English-speaking countries, this water-rich veggie goes by many names around the world — for example, khira (Hindi) and sakusa (Sanskrit). It’s found wildly in the Himalayan regions and also widely cultivated and exported throughout India, Asia and North America today.

The uses for cucumber nutrition benefits known centuries-ago included naturally remedying PMS, fighting pain, skin irritations, headaches and improving digestion since the seeds are nourishing, cleansing and have a diuretic effect.

The juice from cucumbers has also long been used as a natural electrolyte booster before energy drinks like vitamin water existed. And since it has antibacterial properties and is an anti-inflammatory food, cucumbers have been used as a home remedy for acne or to reduce redness and puffiness on the skin.

Cucumber health benefits includes reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, healthy weight management, detoxifying the body, enhancing the skin, supporting eye health, alkalizing the blood and treating cancer. Other benefits includes combating bad breath, supporting digestion, controlling blood sugar level, maintaining adequate blood pressure, supporting bones, repairing hair, supporting nails and supporting dental health.
