Zucchini Zucchini (courgette in French) are high in fiber. They are rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, folic
acid and calcium. One cup of zucchini has nearly as much potassium as a banana. It also contains
the valuable mineral nutrient phosphorus. Zucchini are a variety of vegetable marrow, a
summer squash. They are tender and tasty when young. Fruit color varies from a green to lighter
shades of green both with and without stripes, all the way to tones of yellow. Many are highlighted
with various degrees of speckling. They grow most commonly in cylindrical shapes, but also in
round and intermediate shapes. Zucchini are best if cooked when fresh and small as they will
have more moisture.
