Today, we are talking to you about a popular ingredient in juice – the cucumber. Like 
celery, cucumber is made up of over 90 percent water, which makes it ideal for 
hydration and clearing up your skin. Here are some important things to know about 
cucumber.


Nutrients in Cucumber

Cucumber doesn’t taste like much, and when you eat it, it is mostly water. But this is a 
good thing! You are able to use large amounts with hardly any fat or calories, aren’t 
loading your body with sugar, but are still getting all that amazing hydration. 

In addition, cucumber contains these essential nutrients:

Magnesium
Fiber
Vitamin C
Vitamin K
Potassium
Manganese


Benefits of Cucumber

Here are some reasons why you should add more cucumber to your juice:

You will be hydrated without drinking water. Not everyone enjoys drinking water, 
and many people never get enough throughout the day. In order to stay hydrated, you 
can add more foods that have a lot of water, such as cucumber. While you are already 
making your juice, it helps to add some cucumber to it to boost the water content 
without disrupting the flavor.

It boosts your fiber for the day. While it isn’t a high amount, cucumber does have 
some fiber, so if you tend to run low on this nutrient, this is a great way to get a little 
more into your juice.

Cucumber is very refreshing. It is light, refreshing, with a very mild flavor. It won’t take 
over other flavors in your juice, but makes it super refreshing on a hot day.


Ways to Use Cucumber

Cucumber is a good additive when you need the extra hydration, or if you are looking 
for a larger glass of juice, without spending a lot on different types of fruits and 
vegetables. From mild juice with cucumber, celery and a fruit of your choice, to adding it 
to your green juice, there are a lot of options available to you.
