Cucumbers consisting of mostly water, help to rehydrate and replenish electrolytes like potassium. Cucumbers are also a good source of Vitamin K, a nutrient that nourishes the health of the bone; reducing the risk of fractures.

Cucumbers also have antioxidant properties, thanks to phytonutrients lignans, flavonoids, and cucurbitacins.
