In basics , pickles and cucumbers have very few calories and are made up of mostly water . Aside from the sugar and salt derived from eating them , yes all pickles and cucumbers are very healthy for you to consume . While they are not filled with vitamins with the exception of a few like A ,K and beta carotene . They do contain small amounts of important amino acids .
What is the most important of consuming these fruits is the amount of trace minerals they contain . Trace minerals are the ones your body cannot produce nor store and needs on a constant basis every day . These are very important to your health so I guess you could say a pickle a day to stay healthy and give the Doctor less pay , LOL . Here are a few of the trace minerals : manganese , magnesium , copper , potassium , phosphorus , zinc , selenium .
