Cucumber, Long from Spain (Organic)

Cucumber is part of the gourd family and originally from South Asia but grows now on most continents. Cucumber consists of 95% water and, like tomato and squash, it is often perceived, prepared and eaten as a vegetable while it is actually a fruit! Belonging to the Cucurbitaceae plant, this long cucumber is roughly cylindrical and elongated with tapered ends. The ascorbic and caffeic acids contained in cucumbers lower the water retention rate, shrinking the swelling and puffiness of your eyes.
