Pro tips

  • Your cucumbers should be dark green with minimal to no yellow spots – these spots tend to develop once the cucumber becomes overly ripe.

  • Juice the cucumber with the peel on (remove if not organic), the peel contains beta-carotene, an important antioxidant that the body converts to Vitamin A.

  • We used standard parsley, but Italian parsley (aka flat-leaf parsley) is acceptable as well.
