Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is a widely cultivated plant in the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae. It is a creeping vine that bears cylindrical, green-skinned fruits. Cucumbers are typically used as vegetables in culinary contexts, although botanically they are classified as fruits. They are known for their high water content and refreshing taste, often consumed raw in salads or pickled, and are also used in skincare due to their hydrating properties.
