About Marrows
Marrows are versatile, nutrient-rich vegetables belonging to the gourd family, originating from Europe and widely used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Similar in appearance to zucchini but larger and with a firmer texture, marrows can be stuffed, roasted, or added to stews and soups. They are low in calories, making them an excellent choice for weight management. Rich in vitamins A, C, and potassium, marrows support immune function, skin health, and heart health. Additionally, they contain dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes gut health. Their high water content helps with hydration, especially in warmer climates. Marrows are a low-fat food option, though preparation methods like frying or stuffing with high-fat ingredients can lessen their health benefits. Simple seasoning and steaming can preserve their nutrient profile while enhancing their delicate flavor.
