The cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is a widely cultivated plant in the gourd family Cucurbitaceae, which include squash and the same genus as the muskmelon. Cucumbers are commonly harvested while still green. They can be eaten raw or cooked, or pickled. They have less nutritious than most other fruits, fresh cucumber seeds are still a source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium, also providing dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B6, thiamin, folate, pathothenic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, copper and manganese.
If you go to Acehnese restaurants in Indonesia you will see this beverage on the menu. It’s perfect combination for Acehnese food which is spicy. It’s so refreshing and also good for people who have high blood pressure. I’m used to serve this iced cucumber limeade when I host a dinner party at my house.
This is my entry for Monthly Mingle: Liquid Dreams, hosted by Meeta of What’s For Lunch, Honey?.
