Cool as a Cucumber

Did you know that Cucumbers are full of nutrients including B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, vitamin C, iron calcium, zinc, magnesium and folic acid.

Wow! That’s a whole load of goodness in one cucumber!

Stay cool this summer with these 5 tips:

1.Drink

A few slices in a glass of water makes a refreshing drink.

2. Eye mask

Lie back with two slices of cucumber on your eyes.  This is great for hayfevery or tired eyes.

3. Dips

Mix grated cucumber into natural yoghurt with salt and pepper for a cooling summer dip.

4. Snacks

Encourage children to munch on big chunks of cucumber to keep them hydrated

5. Sarnies

Add cubes to salmon or have alone in between bread. They taste absolutely gorgeous!

Of course, Cucumbers come from the great mother earth, so when you are sitting there with your eye mask on, pop on the RK NATURE CD!
