About Half zucchini
Half a zucchini is a versatile, nutrient-rich vegetable often used in Mediterranean, Italian, and global cuisines. It is low in calories, containing roughly 15 calories per half zucchini, making it a great option for weight management. Packed with essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and manganese, zucchini supports skin health, immune function, and heart health. It is also a good source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting a feeling of fullness. The vegetable contains antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which contribute to eye health. Zucchini is naturally low in fat and sugar, making it suitable for various dietary lifestyles. While its mild flavor allows for versatility in dishes like stir-fries, salads, and soups, frying or adding excessive oil can lessen its health benefits.
