Cleansing Alkaline Food #4: Cucumber

By Energise Ross

The best thing about cucumber is that they provide the base for practically every alkaline soup, smoothie and juice, giving you a very alkaline, very nutritious base that also tastes great.

The water content of the cucumber also contributes to why it’s great to eat. Nearly 95% of the cucumber is made up from water, therefore making it very hydrating to consume, and also providing vast amounts of antioxidants. Cucumbers are a key source of conventional antioxidant nutrients including vitamin C, manganese and beta-carotene.
