While cucumbers do not have large quantities of vitamins and minerals in them, one small cup does provide you with small doses of nearly all essential vitamins and nutrients.
An average serving of cucumber will provide vitamins A, C, K, B6 and B12 as well as folate and thiamin. Aside from salt, all minerals are present and accounted for in one cup of cucumber. This includes calcium, iron, manganese, selenium, zinc and potassium. So this simple recipe is a great way to boost your daily vitamin and mineral intake.
