About Zucchini

Zucchini, also known as courgette, is a versatile squash native to the Americas but popularized in Italian cuisine. With its mild flavor and tender texture, it’s a staple in dishes like ratatouille, stir-fries, and pastas. Zucchini is low in calories, rich in water, and packed with essential nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. It’s also a good source of antioxidants, which help combat inflammation and support healthy skin. This vegetable can be enjoyed raw, grilled, roasted, or spiralized into a gluten-free pasta alternative. Its high water content makes it hydrating and ideal for weight management, while its fiber supports digestion. Zucchini is generally free of unhealthy aspects unless heavily processed or fried with excessive oil. Whether you're looking for a light side dish or a nutritious base for a meal, zucchini offers both flavor and health benefits.
