About Zuchini
Zucchini, also known as courgette, is a summer squash native to the Americas that has become a staple in many global cuisines, particularly Mediterranean dishes. This versatile vegetable is low in calories and rich in essential nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. Its high water content and fiber promote digestion and hydration, making it an excellent choice for weight-conscious diets. Zucchini is also naturally free of cholesterol, fat, and sodium, contributing to heart health. It can be enjoyed raw, grilled, sautéed, or spiralized into zucchini noodles as a nutritious alternative to pasta. However, frying or topping it with heavy sauces may diminish its health benefits. Easy to digest and mild in flavor, zucchini is a delicious and healthful addition to meals, whether baked into breads or featured as the main attraction in savory dishes.
