Montego's Cucumber

Cucumbers have a mild, crisp, refreshing taste and a high water content. They can help relieve dehydration and are pleasant to eat in hot weather. Additionally, cucumbers are high in antioxidants and will contribute to your daily recommended intake of potassium, fiber and vitamin C.

Their mild taste and refreshing crunch make them suitable for adding to salads or sandwiches, accompanying rich or highly flavored dishes, such as curries and stews. You can also blend cucumbers alone or with other vegetables, such as carrots and celery, to make a refreshing summer drink.
