About Zucchini and yellow squash
Zucchini and yellow squash, both members of the summer squash family, are versatile vegetables popular in many cuisines, particularly Mediterranean, Italian, and American. These tender squashes are low in calories, carbohydrates, and fat yet rich in essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and dietary fiber. Their high water content promotes hydration, while antioxidants found in their skin and flesh may support overall health. Zucchini and yellow squash are also easy to digest and can be enjoyed raw, grilled, roasted, or sautéed. They pair well with herbs, spices, and healthy fats like olive oil, making them a staple in health-focused diets. While generally very nutritious, cooking them with excessive oils or rich sauces may add unnecessary calories. Their mild flavor and adaptability make them a favorite for nutrient-packed meals such as zucchini noodles, hearty casseroles, or refreshing salads.
