Cucumber

Cucumbers reach their peak between June and August, when British greenhouse crops offer maximum crispness. While available year-round through Mediterranean imports, the summer harvest is noted for its superior hydration and mild flavor. They are low in calories and provide a refreshing source of vitamin K and antioxidants.
