Fresh zucchinis are an excellent choice for those seeking a balanced diet. Grown naturally by farmers in Griñón and Villa del Prado, each zucchini weighs between 400 and 500 grams, ensuring freshness and quality. These vegetables are highly hydrating, with a water content of 96.5%, and are rich in minerals such as potassium and calcium, along with vitamins A and C. Their low caloric content makes them a perfect ingredient for various recipes, whether in creams, stir-fries, baked dishes, or purées. Zucchinis can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or frozen after briefly blanching. The zucchini season in Spain runs from November to August, allowing enjoyment during much of the year. Their versatility in the kitchen is remarkable, from boiled to gratinated or in ratatouille, combining perfectly with other vegetables like pumpkin and leeks.
