About Cooked zucchini
Cooked zucchini is a versatile vegetable popular in many cuisines, including Mediterranean, Italian, and American dishes. Native to Central and South America, zucchini is technically a type of summer squash and belongs to the gourd family. When cooked, it develops a tender texture and mildly sweet flavor, making it an excellent addition to stir-fries, soups, and pasta dishes. Zucchini is low in calories but rich in essential nutrients like potassium, vitamin C, vitamin A, and dietary fiber. It also provides antioxidants, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. Its high water content makes it hydrating and beneficial for digestion. Cooking methods like steaming or sautéing retain most of its nutrients, while frying may add unnecessary fats. Overall, cooked zucchini is a nutrient-dense, adaptable ingredient that complements a healthy diet.
