Cucumbers may be mostly water, but they can still be a healthy choice.
They are about 96 per cent water, low in calories and contain some fibre, making them a refreshing way to stay hydrated.
Experts say cucumbers have little effect on blood sugar and may support metabolic health, although more research is needed.
Their mild taste and crunch also make them an easy alternative to processed snacks or a fresh addition to meals.
The key is to watch what you eat with them, as some pickled cucumbers can be high in salt.
