Cucumbers consist of 95% water, making them a hydrating fruit (yes, they are a fruit because the seeds are on the inside).

About 60% of the human body is made up water, and you lose fluids on a daily basis through sweat, urine, feces and respiration. Replacing water throughout the day is important for hydration, maintaining optimal fluid balance within the cells and proper organ function. In addition, water is necessary for proper brain function and digestive processes, such as preventing constipation.

According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, about 20% of your daily water should come from food. So, the high water content of cucumbers can help you reach your daily hydration goals!
