Cucumbers
Cucumbers belong to the watermelon family. They are about 95 percent water and are very refreshing to eat. They contain vitamin C, as well as potassium and magnesium. They are usually sold with a wax coating, which is why they are peeled before use. Look for English cucumbers, which are not waxed, to use the peel for more fiber.
