About Zucchini flowers
Zucchini flowers, also known as squash blossoms, are a delicate and flavorful ingredient commonly used in Mediterranean, Italian, and Mexican cuisines. These vibrant yellow-orange flowers come from the zucchini plant and are often stuffed, fried, or used as a topping for dishes like pizza and pasta. Nutritionally, zucchini flowers are low in calories and contain small amounts of vitamins A and C, essential for immune health and vision. They also provide potassium and iron, contributing to muscle function and oxygen transport in the blood. While naturally healthy, their preparation can affect their nutritional profile—dishes like deep-fried zucchini flowers may be higher in calories and fat. Best enjoyed fresh, they add a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a touch of elegance to many recipes, making them both a nutritious and unique seasonal treat.
