About Piccolo

Piccolo, often referred to as baby zucchini, is a small, tender summer squash prized for its mild flavor and versatility. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, it has become a nutritious staple across various global dishes. Piccolo is low in calories and packed with essential nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, making it excellent for heart health, digestion, and immune support. Its thin skin and soft texture allow for easy preparation and cooking, whether grilled, roasted, steamed, or included raw in salads. Piccolo is naturally fat-free and cholesterol-free, making it a health-conscious choice for many diets. However, its delicate skin means pesticides can sometimes linger, so choosing organic or thoroughly washing is recommended. Whether used in pasta dishes or as a stand-alone side, Piccolo is a flavorful and nutrient-rich addition to meals.
