Best time: Anytime - perfect in salads, snacks, or as a hydrating snack
Benefits
- ✓Extremely low in calories (15 kcal/100g) - can be eaten in large amounts without caloric impact
- ✓Very high water content (over 95%) - excellent for hydration and a feeling of fullness
- ✓Adds volume and crunch to salads and snacks with a nearly negligible caloric load
- ✓Contains vitamin K for normal clotting and bone health, plus antioxidants such as cucurbitacins
- ✓Provides potassium and silica that support electrolyte balance and skin health
Considerations
- !The skin holds most of the fiber and antioxidants - wash it well and keep the skin on when possible
- !Overall nutrient density is modest - use it for volume and hydration, not as a main micronutrient source
- !It may cause mild bloating in some people - seedless varieties are usually better tolerated
