We know this member of the cucurbitaceae family by its Italian name, which means "little squash." Zucchinis are excellent in ratatouille, or sauteed, fried, stuffed, au gratin or in soup. Zucchinis don't have many calories (approximately 15 calories per 100 g) and contain useful amounts of folate, potassium, vitamin A, which attack free radicals and protect the eyes, and rutin (vitamin P), which helps oxidize cholesterol.
A juicy fruit that's excellent in salads and sandwiches! Several varieties available, depending on time of year and merchants: Italian, baby Italian, round, grape, cherry, a variety of shapes and colors... ask your merchants for their favourites!
