Do you remove the peel from the cucumber? Think twice...

• April 29, 2024

Cucumber is one of the key ingredients in salads, but are you one of those that removes the skin before eating it? Error! Here we tell you why ...

Inside the kitchen cucumbers occupy a very special place in the Mediterranean food , but also as a snack accompanied by chilito and lemon.

This vegetable composed by 90% water and vitamins C and D, make it the perfect ally for hot days.

In my case, for many years I came to eat without shell , believing that it was the best, but I could see that throwing it was a big mistake.

Some reasons why you should NOT remove the skin are:

- Its shell is a rich source of fiber .

- It's low in calories.

- Contains vitamin K, responsible for strengthen the bones.

- Rich source of beta carotene , a substance that helps keep the health of eyes .  

- Contribute Energy in the form of calories.

- Eliminates toxins bad that your body does not need.

- Reduces blood pressure.

- Levels uric acid

- Works like antioxidant , delaying the symptoms of old age.

Now that you know the benefits of eating cucumber in shell, you will stop taking it and enjoy all its benefits.

Remember that before eating it you should wash each one of the cucumbers perfectly.
