cravings meaning your lacking a vitamin?

so I know a lot of women crave the weirdest stuff like pickles and ice meaning they are lacking a certain vitamin.  my craving is cucumbers.  I got to the grocery store every week and buy 10 cucumbers and just eat minimum 1 a day.  people are starting to think something is wrong with me cause I even carry one in my purse.   is there a vitamin related to this I could be lacking?

Im not sure, look up the vitamins in a cucumber, they have a lot of water too which coukd be part of it.  I wish I craved cucumbers instead of everything sweet!  Its healthy at least.

Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium
