Cucumber is not on this app at all. #105

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but I can't find cucumber under any of the categories.

I don't think there's anything valuable in a cucumber from nutritional perspective. Therefore it is not in the list.

Indeed, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucumber#Nutrition says: "In a 100-gram serving, raw cucumber (with peel) is 95% water, provides 67 kilojoules (16 kilocalories) and supplies low content of essential nutrients, as it is notable only for vitamin K at 16% of the Daily Value (table)."

I'm closing this issue because Cucumber is not listed in Dr. Greger's book and therefore should not be included in the app.

Thanks for responding, I understand now.
