A cucumber a day, to maintain good hydration.

Cucumber is a vegetable that requires sun and warmth.

It is therefore particularly suitable for planting just before the start of summer.

In your organic vegetable garden, you can plant a thin-skinned variety, which will improve their texture and flavour.

Also near them, plant some coriander, which will help pollination and prevent some pests.

Some parthenocarpic cucumbers produce fruit without the need for pollination, so they do not require seeds inside.

It also contains a flavonol, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant, which promotes neuronal connectivity.

Its low sodium content and high potassium content make it particularly suitable for hypertension and uric acid.

It also contains trace elements such as silicon, which are essential for the formation of collagen in the skin and soft tissues of the body.
