Okay so this might sound dumb and all but ive seen on tv and in many places that there are pitchers of water with cucumber slices inside of it. Why do people do this, does it change the flavor of the water? benefits? Thank You!!

Slice some English cucumbers into spring water and let it sit overnight in a pitcher so that the cucumber essence is mixed with the water. Strain the cucumber when you pour. I find that after I exercise or sit in a sauna, cucumber water is very refreshing and acts as detox. Try it!

cucumbers in water keep the cucumber firm and fresh for eating. Old Celtic folks always put there in vinegar for a crunchy taste just before putting them on the table at lunch. My old grandparents from the old country always did this. You can also do it with celery too.

It gives the water a different taste. It is a very clean and refreshing taste.

Makes the water taste fresh, as opposed to putting the tang of a lemon. Try it, it's very good.

It just makes the water look better and apealing to the eye. Or someone has a bad taste. Are you sure they weren't lemons?

Are you sure it wasn't limes? Sometimes they put sliced lime in gin, or vodka based drinks.
