What it is
Organic cucumber juice is the liquid extracted from organically grown cucumbers. Cucumbers are typically grown in warm climates and are harvested when mature. The juice is usually obtained by pressing or blending the cucumbers and then filtering the liquid.

Health notes
Organic cucumber juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cucumber and its extracts, but specific evaluations for organic cucumber juice as a standalone ingredient may vary. There are no widespread health controversies associated with its consumption at typical levels.
