The German Federal Nutrition Center recommended not peeling the cucumber, since vitamins and minerals were directly under the crust.
The center is rich in vitamin B, vitamin C and vitamin E, and it is rich in iron, zinc, calcium, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus.

Another health benefit of the option is that it has a diuretic effect and is rich in dietary fiber.
