How many calories in a cucumber?
I am curious about the average calorie content in a cucumber. Could you provide information on how many calories are typically found in a standard cucumber?

First of all, you need to know whether you are asking about a whole fresh cucumber, a sliced cucumber, a peeled cucumber (whether whole or sliced). Then you need to know what size the cucumber is and maybe even what variety it is.
Below are some cucumber calories counts for your reference:
1 Cucumber, unpeeled, raw, 8 1/4″, approx. 280g – 34 calories
1 Cucumber, unpeeled, raw, sliced, 1 cup, approx. 104g – 15 calories
1 Cucumber, Peeled, raw, 8 1/4″, approx. 301g – 39 calories
1 Cucumber, Peeled, raw, sliced, 1 cup, approx. 119g – 14 calories
1 Pickle, whole, 3 3/4″, approx. 65g – 12 calories
Some Fun Fact: even though people refer to cucumbers as vegetables, cucumbers are actually a fruit because they contain their own seeds.
