Cucumber (sliced)

Cucumbers are a cool, crisp, high-water-content vegetable with a mild, refreshing flavour, eaten mostly raw in salads and sandwiches. They are also pickled to make preparations like gherkins and dill pickles, which firm up and develop a tangy flavour through the pickling process. Their high water content means they release liquid readily when salted or cut ahead of time.

Slicing changes an ingredient's shape and how it settles into a measuring cup compared with the whole or diced form.
