Title: cool as a cucumber
Post by: Gerianne on May 06, 2017, 06:37:57 am

cucumbers have nutritional benefits.
when I was a girl, we had a neighbor who put them on her eyes as she lied down in the sun.
they soothe puffy eyes.
there is a saying  " cool as a cucumber"
they do feel very cool.
it can also pertain to staying calm, cool and collected; don't lose your temper or get angry.

Have you tried removing the seeds by cutting the long way and scooping them out with a spoon? Or tried the hot house cukes ?  there is a huge difference !

Cucumbers are one of my favorite vegetables.  They are of silicon.  Silicon is a "beauty" mineral/nutrient because it contributes to the health and appearance of a person's skin and hair.  If you want to look younger and healthier - consume vegetables like cucumbers and bell peppers for the silicon.

I really enjoy cucumbers. They're great for salads and adding in my water.
