Cooked courgettes, also known as zucchini, are a versatile vegetable popular in Mediterranean, Italian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Native to the Americas but embraced worldwide, courgettes are often sautéed, steamed, grilled, or baked, offering a mild, slightly sweet flavor that complements a wide range of dishes. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals like potassium and manganese, they contribute to healthy skin, immune support, and blood pressure regulation. Courgettes are high in water and dietary fiber, making them low in calories and excellent for digestive health and hydration. Their antioxidants, including carotenoids, help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. When cooked with minimal oil and seasoning, they remain a nutritious choice; however, preparing them with excessive fats or cheeses may add unnecessary calories. Cooked courgettes are a wholesome addition to any balanced diet, offering both flavor and health benefits.
