Cucumber Magic

Japanese Cucumbers
Have you eaten raw cucumber? I tell you they are the easiest raw veges to eat. They are juicy, crunchy, sweet, refreshing and simply shaped like an ice-cream stick, which makes eating them a breeze. Your mouth smells very nice too after eating them.

Why raw? Raw veges contains digestive enzymes which helps in digestions so the limited enzymes produced by your body can be used for other more important health maintenance purpose other than digesting. There's even a saying by enzyme experts that once you use up the amount of enzymes in your body, you die. Hipps** So start stocking up on enzymes now!

Why cucumber? They are almost "0" calories. Great for dieters. They are the best source of Vitamin E (in their seeds) so are great for beauty skin goers. They contain Antioxidant Vitamins such as A and C. They contains healthful minerals especially Potassium which is good to balance the often too salty food of Singapore.


Look at how I use cucumbers to add to the health factor of my not so healthy (but very yummy foods...)
