Good to know

Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) botanically belong to the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae) and are fleshy berry fruits. The term zucchini comes from Italian and translates to “little pumpkins.” Zucchini are among the fruiting vegetables. Less common names in this country are courgette, coccozelle, vegetable or cucumber squash and the singular zucchino.

Zucchini are in season from June to October. What makes zucchini particularly valuable is its content of calcium, magnesium, iron, B vitamins, vitamin A (provitamin A) and vitamin C. With about 19 kcal/100 g, zucchini has very few calories and is therefore a light ingredient in vegetable cuisine, but rich in vitamins and minerals.
