About Zucchini and onion

Zucchini and onion are a flavorful pairing found in many cuisines, particularly Mediterranean and American dishes. Zucchini, a type of summer squash, is low in calories and rich in vitamins like C and A, along with potassium and antioxidants that support heart health and immune function. Onions add depth with their slightly sweet and pungent flavor, while delivering a healthy dose of vitamin C, fiber, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Together, they create a nutrient-dense combination that is versatile in sautéed dishes, soups, and casseroles. Both vegetables are naturally low in fat, making them a healthy choice for balanced diets. However, cooking methods like frying or adding heavy sauces can increase calorie and fat content, so steaming, roasting, or light sautéing are recommended. This duo offers a delicious way to pack your meal with vitamins, minerals, and fiber while enjoying vibrant, fresh flavors.
