Enjoy cucumbers this month!

Let’s celebrate National Cucumber Month this June by learning a bit about the nutritional components of the vegetable. Cucumbers are a great vegetable to enjoy over the summer because they can provide hydration on warmer days. 98% of the weight of a cucumber can be attributed to water. In addition, this vegetable is a fantastic source of vitamin K which promotes blood clotting. Eating this source of vitamin K will contribute to wound healing by supporting our bodies while clotting our blood.
