About Raw zucchini
Raw zucchini, a versatile summer squash, originates from Central and South America and is now a staple in many global cuisines, particularly Italian and Mediterranean. This crisp, mild vegetable is naturally low in calories, making it a popular choice for healthy diets. Packed with nutrients, zucchini offers vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and fiber while containing no fat or cholesterol. Its high water content supports hydration and aids in digestion. Zucchini also contains antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote eye health. Though generally consumed raw in salads, spiraled into "zoodles," or blended in smoothies, its nutrient profile is best preserved when uncooked. Due to its mild flavor, it pairs well with a variety of ingredients. While zucchini is almost universally healthy, moderation may be advisable for individuals sensitive to oxalates, which could impact kidney health. Overall, zucchini is a nutrient-rich, low-calorie addition to a balanced diet.
