Studies show that, "cool as a cucumber" isn't just a catchy phrase. The inner temperature of a cucumber can be up to 20 degrees cooler than the outside air. No wonder these are such a summertime favorite! Crisp, cool and juicy, due to their high water content, the Cucumis sativus, "cuke" or cucumber, belongs to the same family as pumpkins, zucchini, watermelon and other squashes.
Sometimes it is not so much the moisture of the cucumber that is needed, as it is the flavor. So, make developing cool cucumber creations easy by using Freeze-Dried Cucumbers from Van Drunen Farms. Freeze-drying removes the water from the product while maintaining the structure, color and flavor. They are ideal for use in applications where particular size, shape and quick-hydration are key, such as instant soups and sauces, vegetable dips, spreads and dressings, and drinks. Cucumber complements a variety of other ingredients such as dill or vinegar, yogurt or cream.
Cucumbers are low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. It is also a good source of Vitamin A, pantothenic acid, magnesium, phosphorus and manganese, and a very good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin K and potassium.
VDF Freeze-dried Cucumbers are available in powder form and in diced pieces. Customization is available.
