About Steamed zucchini
Steamed zucchini is a simple and nutritious dish made by gently cooking zucchini slices with steam, preserving their natural flavor and nutrients. Zucchini, also known as courgette, originates from Central America and is a staple in many cuisines, particularly Mediterranean, Italian, and American. This preparation method requires no added oils or fats, making it a low-calorie option rich in vitamins A, C, and potassium. It's a great source of antioxidants, fiber, and hydration due to its high water content. Steaming enhances its tender texture while retaining its natural nutrients, unlike frying or roasting, which may add extra calories. Since it contains minimal sodium and no cholesterol, steamed zucchini supports heart health and weight management. It pairs well as a side dish or a base for flavorful sauces, offering a versatile and health-conscious addition to any meal.
