I remembered those sprouts years later when I had to pick a dish for Thanksgiving. I surfed the web, read about ten recipes for oven-roasted brussels sprouts, and made up my own on the fly. I pulled them out of the oven and my friends crowded around the tray, staring, saying with surprise, âThose lookâ¦ good.â.
Here is a short list of the impressive health benefits that a cucumber carries: 1  Keeps you hydrated. If you are too busy to drink enough water, munch on the cool cucumber, which is 96 percent water. 2  Fights heat, both inside and out. Eat cucumber, and your body gets relief from heartburn. 3  Flushes out toxins.
Nutritional profile. Cucumbers are good sources of phytonutrients (plant chemicals that have protective or disease preventive properties) such flavonoids, lignans and triterpenes, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits, according to Worldâs Healthiest Foods.hese low-calorie veggies contain many nutritional benefits, including hydrating properties and valuable nutrients. There are hundreds of varieties of cucumber, and they come in dozens of colors, but all are classified into two edible types: slicing and pickling, according to Cornell Universityâs Growing Guide.
