Its cheap and good actually, I used to buy a lot. Keeps you full without much calories. No issue eating during pregnancy, just clean it nicely before.

Haan you can eat. Cucumber is light and good for those days when nausea makes everything else feel heavy. Only thing, wash properly since its eaten raw.

Yes cucumber is fine, I ate it almost daily. Amma used to add it in my salad for cooling effect. Just wash it well and peel, thats all.

Cucumber was a lifesaver for me, I had sugar issue so my dietician told me to snack on it instead of fried stuff. Safe to eat, just dont add too much chaat masala on top.
