Origin
Cucumbers are believed to have originated in India, where they have been cultivated for over 3,000 years. From there, they spread to other parts of Asia, including China and the Middle East. Cucumbers were introduced to Europe by the Romans and eventually made their way to the Americas with the European explorers. Today, cucumbers are grown and enjoyed worldwide.
