​TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Enjoy Adrienne's Cucumber Salad courtesy of AllRecipes.com Labor Day Recipes! Find the ingredients for this recipe at the market! 

"Cool as a Cucumber"...
Few foods are as cool as a cucumber. These low-calorie veggies contain many nutritional benefits, including hydrating properties and valuable nutrients. 

​
Did you know that the aforementioned phrase came from the fact that in some cases the inner core of a cucumber is cooler (as much as 20 degrees) than its outside? Since cucumbers are more than 90 percent water, they contain no fat, almost no carbohydrates and very few calories, making them a popular diet-friendly snack. Learn more about cucumbers by reading  How Stuff Works' article, "Cucumbers: Natural Food." In addition, learn about the 7 Benefits of Eating Cucumbers by Clicking Here.
