Cucumber is a widely-cultivated creeping vine plant in the Cucurbitaceous gourd family that bears cucumiform fruits, which are used as vegetables. There are three main varieties of cucumber—slicing, pickling, and burp less / seedless — within which several cultivars have been created.

    Eating cucumbers may lead to many potential health benefits, including weight loss, balanced hydration, digestive regularity and lower blood sugar levels.

    The cucumber originates from South Asia, but now grows on most continents, as many different types of cucumber are traded on the global market.

    Cucumber is available with AM Global Traders round the year.
