With a unique combination of phyto-nutrients, cucumbers offer valuable antioxidant, anti inflammatory and anti cancer benefits (especially estrogen related cancers like breast, ovarian and prostate). Cucumbers are a good source of vitamins C,K, B1 and minerals like copper (improves circulation), potassium (lowers blood pressure) manganese and magnesium. Used as a staple ingredient in juice recipes, cucumbers help alkaline the body, add a mild flavor to any recipe and because they have such a high water content, they are not only hydrating but add volume to any juice.
