Abdullah ibn Ja’far reported: "I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, eating fresh dates with cucumbers". (Sahih Hadith)
It's Just Cucumber, Though
There are books on Sunnah foods, encyclopaedias on Islamic medicine and Tafseer collections on Ahadith (plural). Why? Allah has created the Universe and all its organic matter. He created a perfect person to demonstrate a life lived amongst nature and taught us how to eat through the Messenger and Qur'an!

The Sunnah for Cucumbers
Cucumbers, dates and watermelon have been essential in the prophetic diet. You could say they are an entire meal in themselves.

Cucumber in particular has a cooling, neutralising effect. Heartburn, heatstroke, thirst, dehydration? Grab a stick of cucumber.

In the Sunnah actions, Prophet Muhammad held cucumber in one blessed hand, and dates in the other. He always ate with his blessed right hand.

How to Eat
  1. Chop 1/2 stick cucumber into cubes, slice watermelon on the side,;
  2. Deseed and pile 3/5/7 dates alongside (check the origin country),
  3. Splash over 2-3 tablespoons of Zam Zam water, a pinch of sea salt and 1 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice. (Vinegar is Halal for Hanafi's).
Attend a class or watch a relevant video (check the scholar) on why Sunnah foods have always been, the bee's knees.

Peace + eco-jihad.
