About Zucchini and squash
Zucchini and squash are versatile vegetables from the gourd family, originating in the Americas but widely embraced in global cuisines like Mediterranean, Italian, and Middle Eastern cooking. Both are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals like potassium and magnesium. They’re low in calories, making them ideal for weight management, and high in water content, promoting hydration. Their fiber supports digestive health, while antioxidants help fight inflammation and support immunity. Zucchini, with its mild flavor and tender texture, is perfect for stir-fries, pasta replacements, and baked recipes. Squash varieties, often slightly sweeter, are great for soups and roasting. While generally healthy, preparation methods like frying or excessive seasoning can add unhealthy fats and sodium. They’re excellent for incorporating nutrients into your diet while providing flavor and versatility in both raw and cooked dishes.
