Cucumber
Average User Rating: * * * *
Although less nutritious than most fruit, the fresh cucumber is still a very good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium, and also provides some dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B6, thiamin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and manganese.

 Cucumbers are great for snacks during the day (or during the long work hours when you'd normally be munching on vending machine snacks) or as salad all on their own! Cut them up, add your favourite light dressing and you have a simple, filling and tasty salad!

 Cucumbers can be a very filling snack, addition to many salads, or even as an added crunch to sandwiches. They are very low in calories so you can eat a whole cucumber and not feel guilty. :)
