Zucchini is a type of pumpkin that is consumed before it ripens. It is very versatile and super tasty to prepare a cream, to use as a side dish in stews, fillings, breaded or to enjoy as an appetizer. Zucchini comes in many sizes and colors, from green to yellow and white. Zucchini has almost no fat. It is a very light and easy to digest food. It is composed of a lot of fiber, so it helps with intestinal function. Storage: In the refrigerator as they were bought, without peeling or cutting. They usually last about two weeks. It is suggested to store them separately from any fruit, as they will ripen faster, thanks to the ethylene gas they give off.
