Chili Cucumbers
Prep Tip: When shopping, choose firm cucumbers with smooth skins. Avoid cucumbers that have shriveled ends or blemishes. Helpful Hint: Thicker cucumbers have more seeds.
Change It Up: Add Chili Cucumbers to salads and sandwiches for extra flavor and crunch. Mix it up by trying a dash of other spices or herbs from your pantry. We like paprika, curry, lemon-pepper, dill, basil, thyme or any favorite seasoning blend.
Nutrition Tip: Cucumbers are about 96% water. Your body needs water to function properly. Eating cucumbers can help you meet your daily fluid needs.
