Cucumbers to be fresh and elegant

Cucumber is one of the freshest vegetables you consume mostly raw. They are known since ancient times and no one ever argued with regard to their freshness and flavor.

Cucumbers come in almost all weight loss diets because they are very low and the main content is water- 96%. At the same time its members have many valuable minerals and trace elements, and acting diuretic.

Another very important quality of cucumbers that are so well suited to freshen the skin, especially around the eyes. High content of water and valuable minerals hydrate and refresh magic skin.

I can not imagine his table without cucumbers in summer and preserved gherkins are part of our menu in winter. Although fresh greenhouse cucumbers already round the shops, they are somehow not as tasty winter and sour gherkins are irrelevant in the summer.
