Just How Refreshing Is A Cucumber?

June 25, 2007

Cucumbers top my list of cooling foods. There is a reason that saying "cool as a cucumber" exists. Aside from vital nutrients, like vitamins and minerals, we also get water from our food, but do you know how much water your favorite foods contain?

I guessed 75% too. 95% is craaaazy. Imagine how much water is in iceberg lettuce! Haha It sounds horrible, but they're so good in vinegar mixed with water, a couple twists of freshly ground pepper, and a pinch of brown sugar.
