Zucchini noodles, often called "zoodles," are a popular low-carb alternative to traditional pasta. Made from fresh zucchini that is spiralized or thinly sliced, these noodles originate from modern health-conscious cuisine rather than a specific cultural tradition. Zucchini itself is a versatile vegetable packed with essential nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, while being low in calories and carbohydrates. Zoodles are ideal for gluten-free and paleo diets, as they contain no wheat or grains. They pair well with a variety of sauces and toppings, offering a guilt-free way to enjoy classic pasta dishes. However, because zucchini has a high water content, it may not provide the same texture or heartiness as regular pasta. Additionally, depending on the accompaniments used, the overall nutritional value of a dish can vary. Zucchini noodles shine as a healthy, adaptable option for those seeking cleaner, plant-based alternatives.
