]]>Cucumbers come from a plant that is a member of the gourd family, a group that includes other vegetables such as squash, pumpkin, zucchini, and even watermelon. They grow on vines and are even easily to cultivate at home if youโre thinking about setting up your own home garden.
Outside of more technical characteristics, itโs important to remember just how versatile cucumbers are and how many recipes they can be used in. In fact, using them in recipes goes past one way that they can be enjoyed. Thereโs nothing more that I enjoy on a summer day than a simple sliced cucumber with a bit of salt and pepper!
But if you donโt want to be simple, itโs definitely worth remembering that cucumbers can be used in recipes as varied as gazpacho to salads. Its bright green skin can turn a salad from dull to exciting, and itโs great with onions, sour cream and white wine vinegar in a simple summer salad.
In short, cucumbers allow for all kinds of improvisation and theyโre a great ingredient to get to know if youโre a home cook. Dive into the world of cucumbers and find out just how exciting they can be!
