Zucchini blossoms are vibrant, edible flowers that bloom from zucchini plants, commonly used in Italian and Mexican cuisines. Known for their delicate texture and slightly sweet, vegetal flavor, they are often stuffed, fried, or added to soups and salads. Nutritionally, zucchini blossoms are low in calories and rich in vitamins like A and C, which support eye health and immunity. They also contain minerals such as calcium and potassium, aiding in bone strength and muscle function. While generally nutritious, preparation methods such as frying can add calories and fat, so steaming or baking is a healthier alternative. These blossoms are prized for their unique combination of flavor, nutritional benefits, and versatility in cooking, making them a favorite among chefs and health-conscious eaters alike.
