Cucumbers
The inner temperature of a cucumber can be up to 20 degrees cooler than the outside air, which is where the phrase "cool as a cucumber" originated from.
Cucumbers were believed to have originated in India and spread through Greece and Italy. They made their way into North America agriculture by the mid-16 century. Cool and moist due to their high water content. "Cukes" belong to the same family as pumpkins, zucchini, watermelon and other squashes.
95% water, Cucumbers are low in calories. The skins have Vitamin A and Vitamin C and folic acid.
Sprinkle the cucumber peelings with salt and put them where you see ants coming in your home. Ants won't cross this line. Eating spicy foods, better than milk, bread or water, cucumbers will soothe the burn in your mouth.
