Especially in summer, the cucumber is a refreshing and tasty food of the Mediterranean cuisine.
Thanks to its high water content and micronutrients, it is considered one of the best detoxification vegetables.
It cools us in summer and helps to regulate high blood pressure. In addition, it is very low in calories.
It is also important for skin care as the cucumber regulates the acid balance and can compensate for any acidification of the skin and the body. It is said that Cleopatra has already used the benefits of cucumber for her beauty care. A face mask with cucumber relaxes and refreshes the skin.
It can also help with sunburn to cool the irritated skin.
Incidentally, it is best to process the cucumber with skin, because most of the vitamins are contained there. Of course you should then pay attention to unsprayed cucumbers.
