About Zucchini spiral

Zucchini Spirals, often referred to as "zoodles," are thin, spiral-shaped strands of fresh zucchini that serve as a nutrient-rich alternative to traditional pasta. Originating as a popular choice in health-conscious and gluten-free cuisines, they bring a light, low-calorie option to various dishes. Zucchini is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, along with potassium and antioxidants that support heart health, immune function, and skin vitality. Another advantage is its high water content, which promotes hydration and aids digestion. Naturally low in carbs and fat, zucchini spirals are ideal for those watching their calorie intake or following low-carb diets like keto or paleo. They pair seamlessly with sauces, proteins, and vegetable medleys, adding subtle flavor and texture. However, due to their high water content, dishes made with zucchini spirals can sometimes lack the firm bite of traditional pasta, requiring thoughtful preparation to maintain desired texture.
