Green squash, commonly known as zucchini, is a versatile vegetable native to the Americas but widely used in Mediterranean, Italian, and global cuisines. This summer squash is low in calories and packed with essential nutrients, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious diets. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, it also provides potassium, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting heart health. Zucchini is predominantly water-based, which helps with hydration, while being naturally low in fat and cholesterol. Its mild flavor pairs well with a variety of dishes, whether grilled, sautéed, spiralized, or baked. While generally healthy, adding heavy sauces or frying can offset its nutritional benefits. Whether enjoyed raw in salads or cooked into flavorful meals, green squash is a nutrient-packed addition to any diet.
