Tempura Zucchini Flowers are a delicacy originating from Japanese cuisine, known for their light and crispy texture. These edible blossoms are coated in a tempura batter, typically made from flour, water, and sometimes egg, then deep-fried to golden perfection. Often stuffed with creamy cheese or herbs, they deliver a flavorful and indulgent bite. Zucchini flowers themselves are nutrient-dense, providing vitamins A, C, and potassium while being low in calories. However, the deep-frying process increases the dish’s fat content and calories, making it less ideal for frequent consumption if you're aiming for a low-fat diet. The batter usually contains gluten, which may be a concern for individuals with gluten sensitivity. As an occasional treat, Tempura Zucchini Flowers combine the beauty of fresh produce with the satisfying crunch of fried food, making them a popular appetizer or side dish in many restaurants worldwide.
