Caparrós Nature

Cucumbers

The elongated cucumber can be easily incorporated into any diet, as it is very low in calories. It contains many vitamins, which makes it particularly healthy to consume. It holds its own in sandwiches and salads. You can try its characteristic refreshing taste by putting a few slices in a glass of water. On hot summer days, you can also make a cold cucumber soup. It is characterized by a crispy texture and fresh taste.

Use

The ancient Indian food, the cucumber, is used in many ways: we eat it, mix it into creams and apply it to ourselves, or simply slice it and cool our tired eyes with it. 

Producer information

In 1984, Caparrós, the parent company of Caparrós, was founded as a family business in Almeria.  In Almeria, vegetable cultivation and trade have achieved significant development both nationally and internationally. They are among the leading companies in foreign agricultural sales. The numbers support the positive trend that the sector has experienced in the last decade, doubling exports.

Europe is the main market for Andalusian agricultural sales, as the ten main markets are located on this continent. Germany is the main destination for their fruit and vegetable exports. All their products are grown locally: tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, aubergines, courgettes and watermelons. In 2020, the company founded the Pedro Caparros Foundation.

Caparrós plantations are located in different strategic areas of the province of Almería to guarantee production 12 months a year. In the cold autumn-winter season, they produce on the coast, next to the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park (the largest marine-terrestrial protected area on the entire European continent). Its average annual temperature is 18 °C. In the warm seasons, production is obtained from their cultivated land at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, in the Sierra de los Filabres area. This is the other great natural park in southern Spain. Its altitude and temperature provide a mild climate in summer, which allows the two production periods to be linked.
