Fresh, organic, cucumbers now in store, perfect for a Greek salad! Our cucumbers are picked from our polytunnels on the farm and delivered straight to the farm shops.
Great for a wide variety of salads, pickling, putting in sandwiches and so much more but did you know that the fact that the seeds are inside the plant makes the cucumber a fruit rather than a vegetable.
Cucumbers have such a high water content that they are one of the most hydrating foods and they contain important electrolytes so are just the thing for relieving dehydration. Add a few slices to your water along with some fresh mint. Cucumber is also rich in vitamin K and calcium both of which are important for bone health and they contain high levels of cucurbitacin, a nutrient which can help to stop cancer cells reproducing so lots of good reasons to get more cucumber in your diet!
