Not to be outclassed, cucumbers have a pretty fierce antioxidant profile as well. Fresh cucumber aids in the never-ending effort to seek and destroy free radicals, and has serious anti-cancer benefits. Phytonutrients called cucurbitacins have been shown to block cancer cell development, while lignans are associated with a reduced risk of estrogen-related cancers.
