Boiled zucchini is a simple and nutritious dish made by simmering fresh zucchini in water until tender. This versatile vegetable originates from Mediterranean cuisine, particularly Italian traditions, where it often complements pasta dishes, soups, or is enjoyed as a side. Zucchini is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like potassium and manganese. Low in calories and carbohydrates, it is an excellent option for maintaining a balanced diet, supporting heart health, and aiding digestion due to its high fiber content. Boiled zucchini retains much of its nutrients and is especially hydrating, as it is composed of about 95% water. Additionally, it’s naturally fat-free, making it a great choice for weight management. However, boiling can lead to some nutrient loss, especially if overcooked, so slight steaming or minimal boiling is recommended for optimal health benefits.
