Zucchini, also known as courgette, is a versatile summer squash native to the Americas but widely embraced in Mediterranean, Italian, and global cuisines. Its mild flavor and tender texture make it ideal for grilling, sautéing, baking, or spiraling into low-carb "zoodles." Zucchini is rich in nutrients, providing vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and manganese. It’s low in calories, high in water content, and a good source of dietary fiber, making it excellent for hydration, digestion, and weight management. Its antioxidants, including lutein and zeaxanthin, support eye health, while its anti-inflammatory properties may benefit overall wellness. With almost no fat and very few carbs, zucchini fits well into keto, vegan, and heart-healthy diets. However, flavor-enhancing additions like cheese, oils, or fried preparations can increase calorie content, so mindful cooking is recommended for optimal health benefits.
