1:15 3 ways to extract the phytonutrients from cucumbers
Let’s talk about the incredible health benefits of cucumbers. Cucumbers have 73 different phenolic compounds. Cucumbers also have certain phytonutrients that are in cruciferous vegetables.
5 basic benefits of cucumbers:
1. Cucumbers may help stabilize blood sugars
2. Cucumbers may help stabilize cholesterol
3. Cucumbers have anti-inflammatory properties
4. Cucumbers are loaded with powerful antioxidants
5. Cucumbers provide fiber to make butyrate (butyrate can help with insulin resistance)
3 ways to extract phytonutrients:
1. Ferment them (this is different than pickling)
2. Steam them
3. Eat them with fat (like hummus made with olive oil)

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better understand the amazing health benefits of cucumbers.
I saw my grandmother eat Cucumbers everyday when I was growing up. She's currently 94 years old. Her older sister does the same and her sister is 98.
Yeah their generation ate so good. My great grandmother lived past 100😮❤
Cucumber is the "KEY" for Eternity!
There's nothing like a cucumber and zinc tell them to keep eating it
I am 109 years old I have eaten 1 cucumber a day since 1919.
My grandfather had 5 wifes and lived to 103 in pakistan. He said his secret was ... forgot to ask him
A simple salad I grew up eating is sliced cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, and thinly sliced onions. Toss in olive oil and add salt and pepper. Super simple but delicious.
Yup!
Agreed, add a red or green pepper, maybe some fresh basil if you have it.
Same here. In Trinidad (the Caribbean)
Will try as love all components
Yes and maybe some chive, grated feta, parsley, anchovies and grated carrot or turnip with a generous helping pf Caesar salad dressing and some freshly baked croutons, super simple and easy!
Cucumbers sliced and marinated in different vinegars with salt and drizzled with olive oil was comfort food in my mother's home. She was an unrecognized genius!
She sounds awesome.....
@@anthonybyrne1169 ..why don't eat air then? It's unsalted..
Do not ingest vinegar marinated cucumbers rectally.. it burns...
@@MrDogonjon I would not call that "ingesting" really.😣🤤😭

I just love Dr Berg. He is such a class act-he just wants people to get better & talks in such a easy non preachie way.
Smart people (Dr Berg is a smart person) know how to communicate and have empathy for their listeners even before they listen... they anticipate questions creating presentations that give information not too fast for us slow learners
Im falling in love w him 😭
I’m 5 days in keto 2.0 and had a cucumber yesterday and was hoping it was going to be approved by Dr Berg and this morning here is this video. Amazing.
I've been eating cucumbers every day, and my triglycerides level dropped to normal level for the very first time under 150! I will continue to do that! ❤ thanks, Dr. Berg!
Very glad to be of help.
Olive oil, black olives, tomatoes and Feta, my favorite summer salad!
Dr Berg is another hero in the nutrition world. So thankful for him.
Glad to be an inspiration.
Dr.Berg, can you do a video on Histamine Intolerance? Only 2% of the population has this autoimmune disease. I need help ASAP I can’t eat anything at all except carrots & onions.. (please thumb this up so Mr.Berg can see this) thank you.
Hope this helps: th-cam.com/video/Sk8VdjeZZio/w-d-xo.html
Dr. Eric Berg DC thank you so so much for replying! I’ve seen that video 2 months ago but that’s just a little summary of H.I. All the ‘yes’ foods in that video, I can’t eat those. Those still give me a reaction. Only thing I eat daily are: Carrots, Onions, Almonds, Almond milk, Cane sugar for sweetener, Fiber Oat, Corn (barley), Millet flour, & black chick pea flour... everything else gives me a bad reaction. I’ve been dealing with this for 2 years now. It’s hell. For supplements I take probiotics, magnesium, k2 + d3 since it helps get rid of excess levels of histamine. I’m also a vegetarian so I can eat animals for DAO enzymes. Can you please please do a detailed video on histamine intolerance
& its cure?? So I can live like a normal human being..
@@CrAzZyM0nK3Y97 I'm sorry you are going through these. I knew a man who his daughter and his self could only eat ref meat and salt.
Try the gaps diet.
Ck with dr ben lynch. He works with those areas and has had some success with his protocols.
The other day I had a tuna and cucumber sandwhich with a little bit of mustard. I love the crunch.
I love mustard and it’s good for you
@@KLolleySmith organic Mustard or commercial
Yum
That sounds excellent, I'm going to try it. Thank you!
Mee to tuna and cucumer is nice 😋
Cucumbers with lemon, pink salt and a hint of cayenne pepper 🤤 so refreshing, the best!
Yes I just eat mine with Lemon
An old song from the 90's was "I've become Cucumbersome"
Just simple cucumber is tastier. And make sure it's organic
Dr. Berg I recently found your channel. Your videos are well done. I would like to share with you the hummus recipe that my Moroccan neighbors shared with me.
Ingredients
- 1 can organic chickpeas
- 1TBS organic greek yogurt
- 1TBS organic sour cream
- 1TBS organic Tahini
- 0 - 3 cloves of garlic. minced ( you can sauté the garlic to mellow it or you can leave it raw I enjoy it both ways)
- Sumac
- organic lemon
- organic Olive Oil
- organic cilantro, chopped
Directions
Drain the chickpeas of their excess liquid by pouring that liquid into a cup. Reserve the liquid. Place the drained peas, yogurt, sour cream and tahini and optional garlic into the blender and blend it up. Add as much of the reserved chickpea liquid as is necessary for the hummus to be the consistency that you like.
Once you are done blending, place the hummus into a serving dish. Refrigerate 6hours - overnight to let the flavor develop in the hummus
Just before serving: Sprinkle sumac on top. Squeeze a little lemon on top. Pour some olive oil on top. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.
Enjoy Dr Berg and Keep up the excellent work!

I’ve been growing cucumbers in my little greenhouse in Scotland 🏴 Yes they even grow here and taste so much nicer than the ones from the shops!!
I want to try cucumbers in my vegetables garden...do you hand-pollinate or have Honeybees?
Way better than them English Cucumbers eh? 🤣
ChelleBelle I’m English 🤓
Nice 😍. They grow in our Canadian summers pretty good too!
Wonderful. In my city I can't even find organic ones.
I like to garden. I don't have it all figured out but I can grow cucumbers very well.
I make a creamy cucumber salad with sour cream (not the Lite stuff), vinegar, and some spices. Out of this world.
I never get tired of these videos, I am still a sponge when it comes to information and no one provides more great useful and easily digestible health information than Dr. Berg.
Being Armenian, I've grown up with being accustomed to eating cucumber/tomato/onion/cilantro/lemon juice salad ever since I was a kid, we usually eat the Persian style cucumbers but I love pickled cucumbers as well. It's great to hear about the Bubbie's brand of fermented cucumbers. I've always loved that brand but I guess never paid attention that they are fermented versus the regular pickled cucumbers that are mostly sold in stores.
Love the info Dr. Berg, please don't stop putting out these short but very informational videos. You're my only trusted health professional I get information from anywhere.
I never knew how much benefits cucumbers had. I don’t eat much cucumbers but when I do it’s very refreshing like watermelon but cucumbers also just make my body feel more revitalized.
Yeah.❤
I really appreciate all your vital information!! We know you don't have to tell all of this... but thank you a million times over!!!!!!
Thank u dr berg for making frequent videos .. taking out time for us.. watching u makes my day... trust me.. so much positivity u give..
Glad to hear that
I agree the information is correct and the delivery is presented to encourage evolution towards a slimmer more efficient species... If we all followed Dr Berg we would all be beautiful people.... guaranteed.
I grew my own cucumbers last year and this has just reminded to do it again. Thanks Eric!
A neighbor had an abundance of cucumbers this year... a good year for cucumbers? Last year it was shopping bags full of zuchinnis on my porch. I love zuchinni... once a year... as zucchini bread.... at Christmas.
Thank You Dr. Berg! More proper Knowledge on health is always the best! :D
I'm up to my ears in cucumbers from my garden at the moment, I also make my own hummus with olive oil. I have my snack ready then and I love both these items.
Absolutely adore cucumber 🥒 . Cukes are related to melons and they have a similar perfumed flavour, only more green and fresh. They are great sliced into iced water with lime and strawberries in summer. I love the crunchy texture. They’re fantastic for the complexion and I’ve even read they may help prevent degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
Thank you so much Dr Eric, I really really enjoyed watching you talk about cucumbers 🥒 to us all. It’s so amazing what you can get from a ordinary cucumber isn’t it? I’m going shopping 🛍 today, so I’ll be cornering the market in cucumbers!!!!!!! Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
I sometimes add crunchy almond butter to each thick slice of cucumber.
Not wrong, just different, lol. I've not had it, can't knock it. Rock yourself out! 😉
It's amazing how my skin is transforming. I love cucumbers
How?
Are you turning Green!?😂
Really interesting , never thought about cucumbers this way , thank you !
I just planted a tree...so therapeutic to watch it grow. I picked 3 on Sunday and I just noticed 3 more hanging from the vine, I'm so excited(in my kid's voice). I love it with salt, black pepper and lemon juice. I'm going to be having it for lunch, bk n dinner...sweet!😋
😊

I just started buying them recently, they're easy to cut up, can add to cooking or eat raw, pretty easy to get along with.
Cheap too.
I live in the Middle East and cucumber salad with olive oil is a staple in almost every meal here - it's just there on the side. Thanks Doc!
They also go well into shakes with other things like strawberries and broccoli .
Thank you Dr. Beg! I appreciate your hard work on tips to make us healthier,,GOD bless you,
Cucumbers..capsicums...black olives chopped celery and goats cheese..with a few only a few tomatoes...olive oil❤
Mediterranean diet salad ..delish
I’m making that
Julie Wyllie...I have all these ingredients some from my garden and some in the fridge, will give this a go.
I have Cucumber slices on every type of sandwhich i eat! Yummy,yum,yum!
Binged on junk all last night I will be binging on cucumbers to detox thanks 🙏🏾 Good afternoon from Kenya 🇰🇪 Jambo or Habari
same here!
Have some willpower, it'll help immensely.
Same here. Ice cream last night🍦🍦🍦
The only way I can keep from munching out in the late hours is simple. Try to not have any in the pantry. Me I won’t walk a block to buy munchies but if they’re in the house they start calling me around 10:00 PM🥴
we have all been there. try replacing the craving with extra dark chocolate and walnuts or brazil nuts and some beet juice. you will like the taste once you have had it a couple of times. really great high energy and satisfying feeling
Thank you for the love and care for how healthy, silent follow still follow and gaining nutritional knowledge.
Huh!!! I’ve always thought they’re empty thanks Dr Berg for all the important information ❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorite things to eat❤️❤️❤️
👍👍👍👍👍👍
How can I slim down my cheeks please. My face is too fat
I removed the rind (which I normally don't do) and used it as part of my first re-feed after my 5 day fast. Sitting nice in my tummy!
I was wondering about the nutrients in cucumbers just this week. I'm glad that I came across this video. Also, to find out about your keto channel. Thank you for sharing
It's so easy to ferment your own cucumbers.....love them so good...video's all over utube
MORE focus on cucumbers in MY gardens going forward! (only have ONE this season so far and it's getting late for planting)
My limited understanding is that you definitely want fatty dressing, not only for cucumber but maximizing nutrient absorption from greens, etc. EVOO is my go to.
I mix chopped cucumber with some feta cheese and pour some mct oil and a bit of salad dressing for snack all the time 👍
Thank you for sharing that! I was just wondering how to eat them besides in a salad, and I really like feta cheese, so will use your idea.
@Aniruddh Rabinder Nath I'm pretty sure that, with neural imaging, it's been proven that the brain runs more efficiently on ketones rather than glucose. Humans didn't always eat as often as we do now, so they were naturally in ketosis much more often than modern day humans. The Asians are eating more calories overall so of course they're going to gain weight. That's merely their ignorance at play. Corporate greed does play a role but people also need to take some responsibility for what they shove down their throats.
I do cucumbers sliced, feta cheese and tomatoes with olive oil, it's my favorite. Sometimes it's my lunch. Seems to be enough to fill me.
I feel like you are inside my mind everytime I’m thinking of something I see it the next day or within the week. How do you do it? Thank you for all the amazing information as always. I always tell my mom remember what Dr Berg said lol when I have to reminder her to not eat bad food.
Awesome info I really didn’t know that was that great!! I have so many homegrown from a friend I will eat them all!! Thanks Doc Berg!
Very thank ful for your channel, Doctor!! ☺ For me and my mother! ✨🙏 From the Netherlands
Our pleasure!
+cucumbers are rich in NMN, anti aging compound.
Dr Berg, wondering if you have any thoughts on moringa? I have been taking it for years for arthritis and it’s helped me immensely. I’ve heard it’s also good for diabetes and weight loss
love the videos about health benefits of different kinds of foods. Helps everyone to make better desitions and possible try something new :)
Food should be good and taste good too... our food these days taste good but are bad for us as food designers designed nutrition out of food in preference for taste and texture.
My mom always had cucumbers in our fridge marinating in rice vinegar, with black-sesame seeds and course salt. Delightful! Her father, my wonderful grandfather, would step out into his vegetable garden, pick a cucumber, pull a salt shaker out of his pocket, and eat away.
I love the way u mention ur grandfather.all grandparents are adorable i think.👍❤️☺️
Been on keto 3 months and long fasting...I’m eating a lot of cucumbers with acv and olive oil..
Love them... feeling great..
Yes !
Amazing detailed information Dr. Berg. Your videos are short and to the point. Can't thank you enough for sharing. 🙏
Very glad to be of help.
I have had an extreme craving for cucumbers for about 2 weeks now. I eat them cold, peeled and a little bit of salt on them. Right now my fav lemon cucumbers are in and I just can't stop eating them. Funny you post a video about cucumbers today. Thank you.
Japan was full of fermented vegetables, just everything you can buy they have fermented versions there... that is why I felt so good there!!! last winter even though we couldn`t eat so much of a raw vegetables ...
I always love eating cucumbers alone, with a salad, and sometimes by mixing them with a plain zero added sugar yogurt. Also, I add a high-quality EVOO on my salad!
this is super helpful to me!! i love cucumbers, but prolly not been aware of the best ways to extract best value. now i know that better.
My tummy always feels great after eating a cuke...like eat a melon too..but without the sugars. I use it to flavor water ,along with lemon, lime ,mint and basil.
Cucumber has LOTS of collagen precursors. Something I never see mentioned 🤔
Is it the silica?
@@LP-fz5xm Yes!
I do love cucumbers 🥒
@@xmikeox Yes, seriously what the hell is it? I'm too lazy to google it.
You better keep quiet or we'll send some people to your house to help persuade you to keep you mouf shut!! 😠🔫
I grew the best cucumbers ive ever had this year, a veriety called tamra which is a heirloom seed, totally delicious and a heavy cropper! give it a try.
Where did you get the seeds, if I may ask🥒☺
Wow!?!?! I learn so much through your videos! Thank you for sharing. I love cucumbers, but never know I wasn't maximizing their nutritional value. One question, does avocado oil work the same as olive oil?
I really appreciate the straight to the point videos. Thank you.
Very glad to be of help.
A couple of months ago, I started fermenting cukes. I slice hot house or Kirby cukes and add garlic cloves and dill to the salt water solution. I let them ferment on the counter for 2-3 days and then refrigerate. They are delicious!
Thank You, I will try your method...
@@wchiwinky check out farmhouseonboone here on YT for the exact instructions for safety. She also has a website. When we used regular salad cukes with all of the seeds, the results were slimy and mushy. Firmer, less seedy varieties like Kirby and English/hot house seem to work best. Have fun!
Or how about some cucumbers with sour cream and a little garlic and onion? Yum!
Julie, you can cook dinner for me any day!
It's called CACIK, in my country :)
How about mixing cream cheese with sardines and spreading it on sliced cucumbers. Maybe placing an olive on top. Could be an appetizer.
I wish I could eat them that way---it sounds really good---but I'm allergic to dairy and all allium vegetables (onions, garlic, leeks, shallots, etc.), unfortunately.
Noooooooo🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
This information really helpfully thank you for sharing Dr.Berg
Your videos are always so helpful doc..✌🙏
I love cucumbers. This is great :) You have succeeded in getting me excited about Cucumbers lol!
Ate inches .my bad. Lol
help me.
My girlfriend likes them too. Good cheap toy!
😁
Thanks for the video on cucumbers I eat a half a cucumber almost everyday with healthy olive oil mayonnaise from Primal kitchen so that was very interesting to hear that from you sometimes I eat them raw but sometimes I use that mayonnaise so that's great to know thanks a lot
You are the amazing doctor ever.
I just bought me some mini cucumber for pickling. Thanks for this video...very informative!!
Cucumbers and Radishes every morning for years with my veggie loaded Omelette. Love em both! Love 4Truth!
I love cucumbers, the smell, taste and texture is heavenly. I eat cucumbers every other day
Very good.
Thanks for the info! I love cucumbers. Now i will enjoy them more!
Good to know. I love cucumbers... Grew some last summer, will do the same this year☺🎆
Thank you Dr. Berg you literally saved my life, I feel totally great now
Cucumbers🥒 are a whole lot better than donuts 🍩 at Dunkin Donuts which I had this morning. I should’ve had a cucumber instead
😂 naughty you
Those 2 emojis used in the same paragraph give me impure thoughts.
@@toptextbottomtext6671 ahaha
You just made me feel really guilty lol
@VOTERFRAUD BIDEN do you mean donuts 🍩 or cucumbers 🥒? I eat donuts only about once or maximum of twice a month and definitely not daily
Thank You Dr Berg!
I love cucumbers and eat them everyday in the summer, usually with home-made olive oil dressing...I will try fermenting cukes in my new fermenting crocks, Mmmm! Bubbies is delicious, but I wish they made organic ones!
Make my own Hummus bi Tahini...
I can't get used to the taste but I'd forgotten about fermented, pickled cucumber,. Will try it.
I really like that you present everything written on your board with direct and most important points of each subject. You make it simple to understand, something that other health teachers should take note of, and you relate to common folks. So glad I found your videos. Thank you so much always. Awesome doctor. Yeah cucumbers. Aloha
I know i can smell the felt tip marker every time it squeaks
Cucumbers are my favorite vegetable!!!!!!!!!!! I use to eat them like a pickle right out of my grandparents garden when I was little!! LOL
Like the way you explain things.Made very clear.
I love your channel so much thanks!!!!!!
Most welcome! Glad you enjoy it!
Awesome program! Thank you Doctor, a gift for you my personal Hummus
recipe. Very easy,
just puree the ingredients. I can of Chickpeas, also called Garbanzo
beans (healthier to cook the dry beans of same amount). 1/3 cup of low
salt vegetable broth, 1 1/2 lemons squeezed, 3 teaspoons of Tahini, (can
substitute 1 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil), 3 garlic cloves, sea salt to
taste, 1/2- 1 tsp of olive oil optional. Also an old family summer
salad, sliced cucumbers and onions with salt pepper and garlic to season
mixed with a small amount of vinegar. Very refreshing, in the winter my
Mom would add a bit of sour cream to this. Thanks again for all of your
great wisdom!
Hummus is so easy and cheap to make, why buy it? Make it yourself and you control all of the ingredients.
Home made hummus is so much better than any store bought.
You’re right i make tahini myself and i like it more than hummus, YUMMY!!😁🤩
I agree!
Hummus is for goats ...
Lilly Pod Lol, how about tahini?
Again a lot of beneficial information. God bless you Sir.
I like this guy, he knows what we want to know and makes actual content that makes sense.
Like eating cucumbers cut in quarters and sprinkle a little salt on them for taste
Something I'm almost addicted to? Home fermented kimchee!
Does it have animal products?
@@joshuddin897
Nope! It's just very garlicky, spicy fermented cabbage.
You could find more details on what's in or with it by googling kimchee.
Great video, I love them, eat the every day! Didn’t know that they where so healthy 😀👍
I usually like video first then start watching..always informative!
Thank you for watching!
I do my own fermented ground cucumbers for the whole winter. And I do hummus myself too. Thanks dr Berg.
Please how do you make it?
@@milkoansah-johnson8768 To make low-salt cucumbers you will need the following ingredients:
• ground cucumbers,
• dill,
• pickles in the proportion of 1 tablespoon of salt per 1 liter of water,
• spices: garlic , horseradish root,and you can add flavor and firmness by adding, such as: oak, currant or cherry leaves.
@@ewapodkolinska553 Many thanks for recipe.
I love cucumbers! One way I love to eat them is sliced on a plate, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkled with kosher salt and cracked black pepper, and sometimes I add a bit of fresh grated parm. It gives the "taste" of what I used to dip fresh baked crusty bread into, without the carbs. I know, not the same as the bread, but I do love that taste :)
Diane, Thanks for the recipe. Sounds yum! 😋
Exactly how my parents used to give them to us kids. I continue the tradition!
@@Siquomb1 you're welcome!
Nearly 8 million subscribers.. definitely earned and deserved
Thank you for the video.
I just bought one box of cucumbers in Costco (Taiwan) yesterday. I will eat cucumbers more and more.
Great info 😊 thanks Dr Berg.
In my country we mostly eat them raw like fruits
Yes l do too put them in a sandwich.
There is no end to learning, holy cow!
Right! The Lord made this world very complex. I don't think we'll ever figure out everything 🙂
🤣
The bad news is when you stop learning you are already dead... which sucks.
Thanks Dr. Berg. This get me thinking if we should just consume more fiber rich food than taking probiotics?
Thanks for the useful information. You've got a new subscriber.
Oh nice! That’s good to know. I love cucumbers and a lot of times I eat them instead if salad😉
I eat a cucumber and sardine salad for breakfast, w/olive oil, mustard, turmeric, garlic powder, lemon pepper, ETCETERA. That's some damn good eatin'!
Is that the dressing?
@@ilovethebeach1877 - Why not? Call it what you will... PS- I recently added lemon juice too (from a lemon, not a bottle).
@@TaichiStraightlife sounds yummy I'd like to try do you just combine it all in a dressing and pour it over cucumbers?
@@ilovethebeach1877 - Nope; I cut up cukes & into the bowl; then I open a can of sardines, then hold said can under cold water to rinse first; then empty into said bowl. Then I add some hydrolyzed collagen powder, the aforementioned spices then olive oil, lemon juice; mash it, eat it. Obviously I'm not a foodie or any sort of gourmet; I have a philosophy of eating that precludes aesthetics & includes a certain dismay over how our culture considers food (or, more commonly, "food-like substances") that I will not burden you with here. I'll just add that I don't eat from 2 AM until 6 PM ("Time Restricted Eating") so that when I finally do eat this at 6, I'm pretty hungry. PS- Stay away from the beach during tropical storms or depressions of any kind (except perhaps economic depressions: your call), including of course cat. 1, 2, 3-5 hurricanes. Other than that I guess you can love the beaches that are left; they're steadily shrinking due to the ravenous appetite of the rising seas that are constantly eating more and more of the land every passing day or so it seems. Rant over and out. PS- I suppose you could make a dressing at that... but that sounds like work, to which I tend to be allergic.
I really appreciate the way you educate us
This was cool. I am used to thinking of cucumbers as little more than roughage and water. But I LOVE cukes, so I will definitely eat more of them now.
