Cucumber
510105
Well known to all and highly appreciated for its freshness, the cucumber is characterised by its elongated shape, dark green skin and low calorie content. Its crunchy flesh and high water content make it a classic summer vegetable.
Culinary uses:
Cucumbers can be used in many ways, mainly raw:
► Salads: A basic ingredient in summer salads and mixed salads, sliced or diced.
► Cold soups: Essential for making cold soups (such as gazpacho or Greek yoghurt soups).
► Sauces: One of the main ingredients in tzatziki, along with Greek yoghurt, garlic and dill.
► Side dish and appetiser: Can be cut into sticks for dips and raw vegetables, or served in slices for canapés.
► Drinks: Used to flavour water or cocktails, adding a touch of freshness.
Storage and preparation tips:
► Storage: Fresh product. Keep refrigerated (but not in the coldest part of the refrigerator, which could damage it).
► Preparation: Wash before consumption. Can be eaten with or without the skin. Remove seeds if the central flesh is too juicy for certain preparations.
