Korean zucchini, or "aehobak," is a versatile summer squash commonly used in Korean cuisine. With a smooth green skin and tender flesh, it has a subtly sweet and earthy flavor, making it ideal for soups, stir-fries, and savory pancakes. This nutrient-rich vegetable is low in calories and packed with vitamins A and C, which support eye health and boost the immune system. It also contains potassium, aiding in blood pressure regulation, and dietary fiber for improved digestion. Korean zucchini is ideal for health-conscious cooking, as its mild taste pairs well with minimal seasoning, allowing its natural qualities to shine. While generally healthy, preparation methods involving excessive oil or salt can reduce its nutritional benefits, so balanced cooking techniques are recommended. Whether grilled, steamed, or boiled, Korean zucchini provides both flavor and nutrition, making it a staple in traditional Korean recipes and contemporary healthy diets alike.
