Did You Know?
Available year-round from the U.S. and Mexico. Although widely considered a vegetable, cucumbers are technically a fruit. Cultivated since about 8000 B.C., cucumbers were brought to the Americas by Columbus. Cucumbers are 95% water; the inside of a cucumber can be up to 20 degrees F cooler than the outside temperature.
