Abobrinha, known as zucchini in English, is a versatile vegetable widely used in Mediterranean, Italian, and Brazilian cuisines. Native to the Americas, it belongs to the squash family and is rich in essential nutrients. Low in calories and high in water content, abobrinha is a great choice for hydration and weight management. It provides vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber, which support digestion, skin health, and immune function. Its mild flavor makes it adaptable to various dishes, from soups and stews to grilled or baked options. While generally healthy, cooking methods like frying can increase calorie and fat content, so steaming or roasting is preferred for a nutritious meal. Rich in antioxidants, abobrinha helps combat inflammation and promote heart health, making it a staple for those seeking a balanced diet.
