10. Cucumber
Cucumber is something you can find in any cuisine, anywhere in the world. It’s perhaps the most common garden vegetable, and it’s as healthy as it is simple. The lean vegetable contains in it more vitamins and minerals than you probably imagined. First off, since cucumbers are 95 percent water (we all know that), eating cucumbers can keep you hydrated.
The different vitamins contained in cucumbers can help improve your vision (no, it’s not just carrots), your immune system and your blood pressure – all that in the simple green vegetable that we all have in our kitchen. It is important, though, to peel the cucumber or make sure to wash it carefully.
