Zucchini

Zucchini, also known as courgette, is a tender summer squash with smooth, dark green skin and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It has a soft, juicy texture that makes it incredibly versatile—perfect for grilling, roasting, stir-frying, or even spiralizing into noodles. Zucchini cooks quickly and absorbs flavors well, often used in both savory dishes like pastas and stews, as well as in baked goods like zucchini bread. Low in calories and rich in vitamins A and C, it's a light, nutritious addition to meals, celebrated for its adaptability and delicate taste.
