Thousand Island Dressing Cucumber

Overview

Cucumber, also known as courgette and cucumber, belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family. It is widely distributed throughout China and is one of the main greenhouse products. Cucumber was brought back to the Central Plains by Zhang Qian on his mission to the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty. It was called courgette. During the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, Emperor Shi Le of the Later Zhao Dynasty tabooed the word "Hu", and Fan Tan, the governor of Xiangguo County of the Han Dynasty, changed it to cucumber. The stems of cucumbers are covered with hairs and are rich in juice. The leaves have 3-5 lobes and are covered with hairs. There are three varieties of cucumbers: one type has large fruits and vigorous growth, but is only suitable for greenhouse or trellis cultivation; one type has large fruits, usually with white thorns, and is cultivated outdoors (mainly used for slicing and pickling); one type has small and thorny fruits with high yield, including West Indian cucumbers that are cultivated outdoors and are mainly used for pickling. Baidu shares the efficacy and role of cucumber. It is cool in nature, sweet in taste, and slightly poisonous; it enters the lungs, stomach, and large intestine meridians. It clears away heat and diuresis, detoxifies and reduces swelling, produces body fluid and quenches thirst. It is mainly used to treat diseases such as body heat and polydipsia, sore throat, eye diseases caused by wind-heat, jaundice due to damp-heat, and difficulty in urination.

Cucumber is rich in vitamin E, which can prolong life and resist aging. The cucumber enzyme in cucumber has strong biological activity and can effectively promote the body's metabolism. Apply cucumber juice to the skin to moisturize and relax wrinkles. The alanine, arginine and glutamine contained in cucumbers have certain auxiliary therapeutic effects on liver patients, especially those with alcoholic cirrhosis, and can prevent and treat alcoholism.

Therefore, if diabetic patients use cucumbers instead of starchy foods to satisfy their hunger, their blood sugar will not rise but may even decrease.
