10 Low Carb Vegetables
Vegetable #8: Cucumbers
Cucumbers are very low in carbohydrates. One cup of chopped cucumbers contains 4 grams of carbohydrates, with 1 gram coming from fiber. Cucumbers are filled with water, which is why they not only make us feel refreshed and rejuvenated, but are also so low in calories. Cucumbers are also great because they pair well with several different spreads. For instance, peanut butter, ranch, or hummus.
When it comes to minerals and vitamins, cucumbers do not contain as many in comparison to other vegetables. However, cucumbers have a compound called cucurbitacin E, which has been linked to having many positive nutritional benefits.
