The cucumber fruit
Long, tapered, cylindrical
Up to nine inches
The cucumber, like the body is mostly water. It’s juicy, refreshing and versatile. I just love foods that you can transform into a variety of recipes. Drink this after a workout to hydrate and replenish electrolytes. That’s how I first learned to enjoy cucumbers as a drink. After a jaunty little trek up Kala Pattar, my Sherpa pulled the most beautiful cucumber from his pocket and the rest is history.
