Cucumber Vegetable Health Nutrition

CUCUMBER

We're talking about the well know vegetable cucumber here. Not to be confused with the sea cucumber (Sea below - actually the sea sucumber is an animal not a plant).

The cucumber is the edible fruit of the cucumber plant Cucumis sativus, which belongs to the gourd family, as do melons and squash.

The cucumber is believed native to India, and evidence indicates that it has been cultivated in western Asia for 3,000 years. From India it spread to Greece and Italy, where the Romans were especially fond of the crop, and later into China. It was probably introduced into other parts of Europe by the Romans, and records of cucumber cultivation appear in France in the 9th century, England in the 14th century, and in North America by the mid-16th century.

Cucumbers are a good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin A. It also contains calcium and potassium..

Also the green color indicates it is a great source of chlorophyll which is a valuable phytonutrient.

Pickles are made from cucumbers. According to the pickle industry over 5 million pounds of pickles are consumed daily.

Store cucumbers in plastic to protect them and maintain their natural moisture. Store in a refrigerator crisper or in a cool environment.

The giant red or California sea cucumber is the largest member of the family Holothuroidea, and a relative of sea urchins, sand dollars, starfish, brittle stars, and other echinoderms. Their bodies are organized in a completely different way from other members of the animal kingdom. While all other animals are bilaterally symmetrical, the bodies of sea cucumbers and their relatives are radially pentamerous B organized in a circle with five or multiples of five sections B and they have no brains or heads. The giant red sea cucumbers reach thirty inches in length and are bright red as adults.

They are harvested for food, primarily for markets in Asia, from the wild and in farms on the Pacific coast of North America. They occur in other waters in temperate latitudes around the world where they scour the bottom for small bits of protein. Sea cucumbers have a unique way of defending themselves by shedding their internal organs to entangle and confuse predators. Like most echinoderms, sea cucumbers have enormous powers of regeneration.
