Since cucumbers contain insulin-like substances, they are particularly suitable for diabetics.
Cucumbers have almost no calories, making them ideal for diets and spring treatments.
Cucumbers should be used as fresh as possible. Since the most important ingredients are located directly under the peel, it makes sense not to peel the cucumber, but rather just wash it well and then eat the peel.
