About Courgettes
Courgettes, also known as zucchini, are a versatile summer squash originating from Central America and popularized in Mediterranean and Italian cuisine. This low-calorie vegetable is rich in essential nutrients, packing vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber while being virtually fat-free. Its high water content makes it hydrating and ideal for weight management, while antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin promote eye health. Courgettes are also a source of folate, supporting cellular function and heart health. They can be enjoyed raw in salads, roasted, grilled, or spiralized as a pasta alternative. While generally healthy, excessive use of added oils, salt, or heavy sauces during preparation can compromise its nutritional benefits. Easy to incorporate into a wide variety of dishes, courgettes are a nutritious, tasty, and vibrant addition to any diet.
