It could provide a number of health advantages, from better digestion to a decreased risk of heart disease. Your bones, thyroid, and prostate may benefit from zucchini. Manganese, lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamins A and C are all abundant in zucchini; these nutrients support good eyesight and may reduce your chance of developing age-related eye disorders. This kind is better suited for soups and stir-fries since it has a milder flavor than yellow squash but a firmer texture. It may be grilled, roasted, or sautéed, much like yellow squash. Using a spiralizer, you can also slice zucchini into thin ribbons that you may use for spaghetti or noodles in any dish.
