About Calabacin
Calabacín, commonly known as zucchini, is a versatile summer squash originating from Central America and widely used in Mediterranean, Italian, and American cuisines. This green, cylindrical vegetable is rich in nutrients, featuring high levels of vitamin C, potassium, and manganese, alongside a wealth of antioxidants and dietary fiber. Calabacín is naturally low in calories, making it an ideal choice for weight management and promoting digestive health. Its high water content supports hydration and contributes to its light, refreshing flavor. Zucchini can be enjoyed raw, grilled, roasted, or sautéed and often serves as a healthier alternative in dishes like pasta or baked goods. While its nutritional profile is strong, consuming it with heavy oils, creams, or breading may diminish its health benefits. As a versatile ingredient, calabacín is an excellent addition to a balanced diet, offering both culinary creativity and nutritional value.
