Zucchini
Zucchinis belong to the pumpkin family and are rich in nutrients, especially in the season from June to October. It is low in calories, contains a lot of water and provides important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, potassium and magnesium. This combination aids digestion, has a hydrating effect and fits perfectly into a balanced diet.
Its fibre promotes healthy bowel function, while the high water content relieves the body and makes zucchinis an ideal vegetable for light, fresh dishes.
Their versatility also contributes to a healthy diet: It can be steamed, roasted, fermented or even enjoyed raw - and always remains mild and digestible.
