*Cucumbers are cool and moist due to their high water content and belong to the same family as pumpkins, zucchini, watermelon and other squashes.
*Cucumbers are 96% water, which means they do not contain as many nutrients as a drier vegetable like squash; but cucumbers are low in fat, sodium, and calories.
*The cucumber has been around so long, it's one of the only vegetables that appear in the Bible.
*The largest cucumber is the English cucumber, which can grow over 2 feet long.
* China is the largest producer of Cucumbers.
*There are about 50 varieties of cucumber that are commonly grown in the US.
Well thats all for today! See you next week.
