Cucumbers have been around for a long long time; they were used for food in ancient Egypt. They are an alkaline, non-starchy (and cooling) vegetable. The peelings are edible. Cucumbers are wonderful as a digestive aid and have a purifying effect on the bowels. Serve them thinly sliced, raw, in lemon juice, sour cream or yogurt (great summer dish). FYI: Great for your skin; cucumbers have a cooling effect on the blood.
