About Fiori di zucca fritti
Fiori di Zucca Fritti, or fried zucchini blossoms, are a traditional Italian delicacy often enjoyed as an appetizer. This dish features delicate zucchini flowers, typically stuffed with creamy ricotta cheese or mozzarella, and flavored with herbs such as basil or parsley. After being lightly coated in a batter made from flour, eggs, and water, the blossoms are fried until golden and crispy. While their flavor is subtle and floral, the crispy texture adds indulgence. Originating from Italian cuisine, these stuffed and fried blossoms are a seasonal treat, prepared when zucchini plants bloom. Nutritionally, the zucchini flowers themselves are low in calories and contain vitamins A and C, along with antioxidants. However, the frying process and cheese filling can increase calorie and fat content, making moderation important. Pairing them with a fresh salad or simply enjoying them occasionally allows for balance when savoring this rich Italian staple.
