Cucumber (Tiyo - তিয়ঁহ)

Cucumber, scientifically known as Cucumis sativus, is a widely cultivated vine plant in the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae. It's prized for its crisp texture, mild flavor, and high water content, making it a refreshing addition to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes.
Cucumbers typically have elongated, cylindrical shapes, although there are also round and heirloom varieties. They come in various sizes, ranging from small pickling cucumbers to larger slicing cucumbers. The skin of cucumbers can vary in color from dark green to light green, and some varieties have spiny or smooth skin.
Cucumbers are often enjoyed raw, either sliced, diced, or in spears, and they're commonly used in salads, gazpachos, and cold soups. They can also be pickled to preserve their freshness and tangy flavor. Cucumbers are low in calories and rich in water, making them a hydrating and nutritious snack option.
In addition to their culinary uses, cucumbers have skincare benefits when applied topically due to their cooling and soothing properties. Cucumber slices are often used in spa treatments to reduce puffiness and refresh the skin.
