Cucumber

• Cucumbers originated in India and brought to North America by the Spaniards.
• Fresh cucumbers are popular with dip and in salads.
• Cucumbers contain Vitamin C and are fat and sodium free.
• Cucumbers' inner temperature can be up to 20 degrees cooler than the outside air. Therefore, that's where the "cool as a cucumber" comes from.
• "Burpless" or seedless cucumbers are longer and thinner than regular cucumbers.
