Cucumbers are members of the gourd family, with their native habitat in South America. During the European conquest of these regions, cucumbers were introduced to European cuisine. They thrive in our climate and are commonly cultivated in gardens and fields. The most flavorful and delicate varieties are small cucumbers, measuring around 15 cm in length. However, there are also giant cucumbers, which typically have very thick skin and an interior largely filled with seeds. Cucumbers can be consumed raw or after heat treatment. They are also excellent for winter preserves such as sweet or sour pickles. Interestingly, they can also be used to make jams and preserves.

Cukinia – właściwości

Cukinia jest lekkostrawna i nie obciąża przewodu pokarmowego.. Bez obaw mogą ją spożywać osoby będące na diecie odchudzającej.. Ponadto cukinia zawiera mieszankę witamin i minerałów, które korzystnie wpływają na nasze zdrowie.. Zawiera magnez, żelazo i potas oraz witaminy: A, B1, C, K.. Cukinia działa też odkwaszająco na organizm, dzięki czemu wpływa na równowagę kwasowo-zasadową.. Bez obaw mogą ją jeść osoby cierpiące na wrzody żołądka czy nadkwaśność.. Cukinia to także doskonały produkt dla cukrzyków – ma niski indeks glikemiczny i nie powoduje gwałtownych skoków glukozy we krwi.. Znajdują się w niej również dwa związki wpływające na dobry wzrok – luteina i zeaksantyna.. Są to barwniki roślinne, które działają ochronnie na siatkówkę oka oraz zmniejszają ryzyko zachorowania na zwyrodnienie plamki żółtej.. Warto pamiętać, że cukinia jest warzywem dyniowatym i – podobnie jak w przypadku dyni – można jeść także jej pestki.. Zawierają one unikalną substancję kukurbitacynę, która ma właściwości odrobaczające.

Cukinia – zastosowanie

Ze względu na swój łagodny smak, cukinia pasuje praktycznie do wszystkiego.. Bardzo chętnie jedzą ją dzieci, nawet te, którym smak wielu innych warzyw nie do końca odpowiada.. Można ją wykorzystać na surowo w sałatkach czy jako dodatek do kanapek.. Na ciepło idealnie sprawdza się jako dodatek do makaronu czy ryżu, można ją dusić, piec, grillować i smażyć.. Świetnie smakuje cukinia zapiekana, faszerowana mięsem lub warzywami.. Można z niej robić też placki czy leczo, a nawet zupę.. Możliwości przyrządzenia cukinii są praktycznie nieograniczone, a w sklepach dostępna jest przez cały rok.. Warto zadbać o to, by pojawiała się na stole jak najczęściej.
