Cucumbers are such an outstanding source for nutrition. One element that makes them unique and special is their seeds. Most seeds found in fruit and vegetables are nutritious but largely inedible. This is not the case with cucumbers. We can eat their raw seeds and receive the beneficial phytonutrients from them. They are also beneficial for lowering LDL cholesterol, regulating blood sugar and reducing water retention.
