Zucchini contains a lot of potassium, B vitamins, dietary fiber and antioxidants, which are harmful to health. 100 grams of zucchini contains 30% of the daily value of vitamin C, an antioxidant that prevents premature aging and has a beneficial effect on the skin, blood vessels and other organs and tissues of the body.
Zucchini also contains vitamin A, which, in combination with the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, improves eye health and preserves vision.
Zucchini contains only 20 kcal per 100 grams, so they can be consumed in large quantities. Weight loss with low starch and high fiber content in vegetables is also taken into account, which enhances digestion and leads to overeating. True, we are talking only about the raw product, and not about zucchini fried in oil. Zucchini also contains moderate levels of thiamine, pyridoxine, riboflavin and minerals such as iron, manganese, phosphorus and zinc.
