Cucumbers

Are you as cool as a cucumber? The internal temperature of a cucumber is usually 20 degrees cooler than the temperature outside. Originally from Southern Asia, these crisp, green, vegetables are actually fruit! Pickled cucumbers, or simply “pickles,” are the product of regular cucumbers that have been freshly cut, placed in a pickling solution, and aged. Stop by our farm to pick up some fresh cucumbers, pickled cucumbers – or both! The low-calorie cucumber is a great way to snack healthy because it’s up to 95 percent water. And they are very nearly a multivitamin in themselves, containing Vitamins B1, B2, B3, Zinc, and many more. You can eat them by themselves, make sandwiches out of them or just toss them into a salad.
