Did You Know? Cucumbers are 96% water — even more than watermelon! The phrase "cool as a cucumber" is based on fact: the inside of a cucumber can be up to 20 degrees cooler than the air temperature around it on a hot day. Cucumbers are technically a fruit, not a vegetable, and they belong to the same family as pumpkins, melons, and squash.
