Cucumber time!

08.07.2014
Blog by: Rens Kroes

It’s cucumber time! That’s what we call the summer, the off-season, in Holland. It’s not quite an off-season for me… on the contrary actually. For me, it’s literally cucumber time – haha. When the temperature rises, I feel like eating light, refreshing foods: salads, fresh fruits and especially a lot of extra fluids to stay hydrated. This one-year-old, dark green fruit veggie is crunchy, works diuretic and is filled with vitamins. Remember to eat the skin as well; it contains a lot of fibre and minerals – such as potassium and magnesium. Choose the organic kinds though (or wash the ‘regular’ kind thoroughly!); other cucumbers have a wax layer, to protect them during transportation and against insects

You can find this green juicy friend in an average salad in any Dutch home, but you can be way more creative. For example, make cucumber soup! Yes, soup! I got to work this weekend and I whipped up the most delicious cucumber soup recipe for my new cookbook.

It’s been really hot and sunny here in Amsterdam, and for those who also want to cool down a little – this cucumber juice will definitely help you!

    I am the manager of JustCBD label (justcbdstore.com) and am seeking to grow my wholesale side of company. I really hope that anybody at targetdomain can help me . I thought that the most effective way to accomplish this would be to talk to vape stores and cbd retailers. I was really hoping if anyone could suggest a reliable site where I can get CBD Shops B2B Database with Email Addresses I am presently considering creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Unsure which one would be the most suitable choice and would appreciate any support on this. Or would it be simpler for me to scrape my own leads? Suggestions?

    The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
