Few foods are as cool as a cucumber. These low-calorie veggies contain many nutritional benefits, including hydrating properties and valuable nutrients. There are hundreds of varieties of cucumber, and they come in dozens of colors, but the edible types are classified as being for either slicing or pickling, according to. Slicing cucumbers are cultivated to be eaten fresh, while pickling cucumbers are intended for the brine jar. Slicing cucumbers are usually larger and thicker-skinned than pickling ones.

They contain seeds and grow from the ovaries of flowering plants. Cucumbers are members of the plant family, which also includes squashes and melons. The most common type of slicing cucumber found in a grocery store is the garden cucumber, Cucumis sativus, according to World's Healthiest Foods.

Nutritional profile Cucumbers are good sources of phytonutrients (plant chemicals that have protective or disease preventive properties) such flavonoids, lignans and triterpenes, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits, according to World's Healthiest Foods. 'We should definitely seek out foods that are nutrient-rich, using the positive approach of what to put on your plate vs. What to keep off,' said Angela Lemond, a Plano, Texas-based registered dietitian nutritionist and spokesperson for the. The peel and seeds are the most nutrient-dense parts of the cucumber. They contain fiber and beta-carotene. 'Beta carotene is an antioxidant that helps with immunity, skin, eye and the prevention of cancer,' said Lemond. A study published in the found that cucumber seeds were a good source of minerals, and contained calcium.

'Cucumbers are naturally low in calories, carbohydrates, sodium, fat and cholesterol,' said, a registered dietitian nutritionist in Orlando, Florida. There are just 16 calories in a cup of cucumber with its peel (15 without). You will get about 4 percent of your daily potassium, 3 percent of your daily fiber and 4 percent of your daily vitamin C.

They also 'provide small amounts of vitamin K, vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, manganese and vitamin A,' Ware said.

'They say we can get 20-30 percent of our fluid needs through our diet alone, and foods like these certainly help,' added Lemond.

The anti-inflammatory compounds in cucumbers help and reduce skin irritation, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Preliminary research also suggests cucumbers, according to an article in the journal Filoterapia.

Cancer prevention Cucumbers contain two phytonutrient compounds associated with anti-cancer benefits: lignans and cucurbitacins. In recent years, pharmaceutical companies have been paying special attention to cucurbitacins, hoping to use them in new cancer drugs. According to a 2010 research review published in, scientists have found that cucurbitacins can help block the signaling pathways that are important for cancer cell proliferation and survival. Cucurbitacins can also inhibits the growth of pancreatic cancer cells, according to a 2009 study published in the looked at cucurbitacin B (which cucumber contains) on human pancreatic cancer cells and found that cucurbitacin supplements inhibited the growth of seven pancreatic cancer cell lines by 50 percent, and also increased apoptosis, or 'death by suicide,' of pancreatic cancer cells. According to World's Healthiest Foods, lignans may protect against cancer through working with the bacteria in the digestive tract. The bacteria take the lignans and convert them into compounds such as enterodiol and enterolactone, which can bind onto estrogen receptors and possibly reduce the risk of estrogen-related cancers, such as ovarian, breast, endometrial and prostate cancers.
