CUCUMBER
Cucumbers are one of the few foods that we eat without removing the seeds. Interestingly, it is the cucumber seeds that contain a number of carotenoids and flavonoids that can help protect our heart and blood vessels. Cucumbers also have compounds called cucurbitacins that have anti-cancer effects and help manage blood sugar.
