Hello,

With an exceptionally steamy Summer and long stretches of temps in the 90s, it feels like an oven right now in New England!

So this Kitchen Witch is reaching for the coolest natural plant remedy that just happens to be in season, the cucumber.

See how Mamma Earth provides us with what we need?

Cool as a cucumber is not just a cliche.

Magical & energetic properties

💙Hydrating - being 95% water, they are a phenomenal source of hydration for our body

💚Cooling - the coolest fruit essence around

💜Soothing - use for skin inflammation, acne, sunburn, and irritated, puffy eyes.It brightens, cools, and soothes our skin through both eating and using topically. (Do you want clear and youthful skin? Add cukes to your diet!)

💛Cleansing - rids our bodies of toxins and keeps our bladder and kidneys functioning properly. It contains 2 phytonutrients compounds that are beneficial in fighting cancer.

How to bring into your everyday
🥗Eat:
Add to sandwiches, wraps, pasta, quinoa & fruit salads

They’re great all by themselves too!

How to prepare (clean with mild soap & water-they may have wax coating to preserve)

🥒Raw:
Slice into discs, stick, or long flat

🔥Cook:
Low heat to keep the essence for burning off (don’t boil)
Use enough water to cover the cucumbers
Cool and drain
