Cucumber :
Because of their high water content, cucumbers have a mild, lightly sweet flavour. They are crisp, cool, and refreshing to eat raw, which is why they are referred to as cool as a cucumber. Cucumber skin has a more earthy flavour, but many people prefer it for its texture, flavour, and health benefits.
Raw Mango:
Because of the presence of oxalic, citric, and succinic acids, raw mango has a sour taste. Raw mangoes are a good source of vitamin B complex and vitamin C, which is higher than in ripe mangoes. Raw mango is also high in pectin.
Mustard Seeds :
They are used as a seasoning rather than a base flavour in many Indian dishes, and they really perk up a lentil or rice dish when fried in a little oil with curry leaves . As a result, mustard seeds are excellent for adding flavour without adding fat to your diet.
