Zucchinis may not be the most exciting vegetables out there, but they sure do pack a punch when it comes to benefits. Recent studies have gone on the explore the anti-cancer benefits of zucchini, specifically for its lutein, zeaxanthin and anti-oxidant contents. Knowing how good it is (and good for you), I know I’ll be eating more zucchini, which by the way, fun fact: though thought of as a vegetable, zucchini is actually a fruit! For starters, they are low in calories, making them a great addition to any meal if you’re trying to shed a few pounds. Zucchinis are also rich in fiber, which can help with digestion and keep you feeling full for longer periods of time. Plus, they contain a variety of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium. But one of the most exciting things about zucchinis is how versatile they are – you can spiralize them into noodles, chop them up for stir-fries, or even grill them up for a tasty side dish. So the next time you’re at the grocery store, don’t overlook this humble vegetable – your body will thank you for it!
