Japanese Cucumber
Japanese Cucumber is a crisp, mild-flavored vegetable used widely in salads, sandwiches and Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Asian cuisines; it’s prized for its cooling, watery texture and refreshing crunch. It’s very low in calories and provides a modest amount of minerals and vitamins — notably 16ug of vitamin K per 100g — along with small amounts of fiber and potassium. Nutritionally, Japanese Cucumber is a light, hydrating choice that contributes vitamins and minerals to a meal but contains only small amounts of pigment-based antioxidants, so pairing it with colorful vegetables will boost overall antioxidant and fiber intake.
