The fresh cucumber is a very good source of the vitamin C and the mineral molybdenum. It is also a good source of vitamin A, potassium, manganese, folate, dietary fiber and magnesium.The fruit is commonly harvested while still green, and eaten as a vegetable, whether raw, cooked, or made into pickled cucumbers.Cucumbers are a great digestive aid and have a cleansing effect on the bowel.I have already made fresh juice, milkshake, smoothies out of this versatile fruit, my last but not least trial is cucumber popsicle..quite easy to prepare, a wonderful thristy quencher..prefect when its too hot.. This easy popsicle goes to AFAM:Cucumber guest hosted by Neha of Tasty Recipes, event started by Maheswari...
