Low in calories and versatile, cucumbers can flavor beverages, perk up a salad, served as a snack, or be made into pickles. This popular vegetable is a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin K. Plus, they have a high water content, making them a mild diuretic to help in weight loss and reduce blood pressure.
