About Zucchine
Zucchini, also known as courgette, is a versatile summer squash originating from Central America and widely embraced in Mediterranean, Italian, and American cuisines. This green vegetable is rich in water content, making it naturally low in calories and a hydrating addition to meals. Packed with essential nutrients, zucchini provides vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. Its fiber content aids digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness, benefiting weight management. Zucchini also contains small amounts of folate, manganese, and vitamin A, contributing to overall health. Its mild flavor makes it ideal for grilling, sautéing, baking, or enjoying raw in salads. While zucchini offers numerous health benefits, fried preparations or recipes featuring heavy sauces can diminish its nutritional profile. When prepared simply, zucchini shines as a wholesome, nutrient-dense choice for a balanced diet.
