Zucchini is packed with many important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It has a high fiber content and a low calorie count. Fiber plays an important role in digestion and may limit the likelihood of suffering from a variety of GI issues.
Slices or small cubes of zucchini can be heated in olive oil, salt and other seasonings for a savory component that can go on salads, be layered in vegetable lasagna, stacked in sandwiches or quesadillas or used as an ingredient in casseroles or savory pies.
