Cucumber
(Cucumis sativus)
Cultivated for over 2,000 years, this creeping vegetable crop comes from the same family as the African calabash, melon or squash.
Hidden under large leaves, its elongated fruits vary from green to white depending on the variety. It is cultivated all year round, provided it is in the warm space of a greenhouse.
Composed of 95% water, this cucurbitaceae is nevertheless rich in beneficial vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and potassium, essential for the skin’s health and beauty.
