Here is the translation of the text into English:

The cultivation of the cucumber is intertwined with the history of humanity. Originating from South Asia, it was cultivated in India over 3,000 years ago. In Greece and Rome, it was adopted as food and spread throughout Europe by the Romans and later to America by Columbus. It belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family and requires a temperate climate to be cultivated under optimal conditions.

Rich in water, it is associated with summer and salads and gazpachos. It should be eaten fresh and preferably with the skin.

Popular wisdom attributes beneficial properties to it for health in the treatment of gout, obesity, and heart diseases. It is also noted as a remedy for tired and inflamed eyes, for wasp stings, and especially as a face mask for the skin.

Cucumber Varieties / Season

Preparation / Storage of Cucumber

Cucumbers are not a good source of nutrients according to analyses. The most abundant nutrient is water.

A small amount of beta carotene is found in the green skin, but once the cucumber is peeled, the amount reduces to almost zero.

Furthermore, cucumbers with skin have a higher nutritional content, such as fiber and vitamin A, which can be lost when peeled.

However, it is associated with silicon, hence its ability to provide elasticity to cells and act on the skin, hair, nails, etc.

Traditionally, it has been considered an excellent ally for the skin.

Its high water content enhances some diuretic and laxative properties. It is a good ingredient for DIETS. (6 large slices or 8 small raw cucumbers with skin)

The cucumber is associated with the summer season. Its traditional season extends from June to September, although it is easy to find it year-round in the market.

A cucumber is at its peak quality when it is uniformly green, firm, but breaks easily. Do not allow cucumbers to turn yellow.

Basically, we have three varieties:
Short cucumber and gherkin (“Spanish type”). These are varieties of small fruits (maximum length of 15 cm), with green skin striped with yellow or white. They are used for fresh consumption or pickling, in which case they are harvested when smaller.

Medium-long cucumber (“French type”), similar to those produced in Almería.

And the long cucumber (“Dutch type”). Varieties whose fruits exceed 25 cm in length.

An easy trick is to soak cucumbers in saltwater. This way, some of the natural water content is removed. Cucumbers exude water and dilute salad dressings.

Cucumbers keep well in the refrigerator for about a couple of weeks.

They should never be stored in a plastic bag, as this accelerates the ripening process. They also stay fresh in a glass container with cold water, placed vertically by the stem.

This vegetable, due to its high water content, does not freeze well, whether whole or cut, because it becomes soft and watery.
