Good to know
- A whole 8-inch cucumber (301 g) has about 45 calories. The 1-cup portion is twice USDA’s 52 g half cup.
- This entry includes the peel. Peeled cucumber is a separate entry with slightly less fiber.
- A cup of slices (104 g) has about 16 calories, which makes cucumber an easy way to add crunch and volume to a salad, wrap, or sandwich.
- Pickles are cucumbers kept in brine or vinegar and are a separate food, usually much higher in sodium. Use the jar’s label.
