Cucumber has been a cherished garden staple for thousands of years, with its origins tracing back to the Indian subcontinent. From here, it spread across Asia, Europe, and the rest of the world, becoming one of the most widely grown and enjoyed vegetables today.

Known for their crisp, refreshing bite, cucumbers are valued not only for their taste but also for their cooling properties—making them a perfect choice for warm climates and summer meals. Their mild flavor pairs beautifully in salads, raitas, pickles, and fresh juices, while also adding crunch and freshness to Indian dishes.
