In reality, the definition we want to give to this vegetable is irrelevant, what is important is that it is a food with exceptional nutritional properties and great versatility in the kitchen
Zucchini originates from the southernmost area of North America and Mesoamerica, where it was already cultivated thousands of years ago. After the discovery of the New World in 1492, the cultivation and consumption of this vegetable spread rapidly to Europe and, from here, to the rest of the world. Currently, it is one of the most appreciated vegetables for the preparation of numerous recipes
