Zucchini: Always a Bridesmaid, Never a Bride

Remember that I made quinoa and beet mini-veggi burgers from beet that was about to die? Something similar happened to me with zucchini. Among all the vegetables full of vitality and the color in the fridge, there were three poor zucchinis.

Our Bride Has Nutrition Values

At my mother’s home, the zucchini was very popular, because it contains very few calories (I’ve already talked about being a family with a tendency to being a hippo?), and because it contains a lot of soluble dietary fibers, which help reduce cholesterol and sugar in the blood.
In addition, a zucchini contains vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, folic acid and antioxidants, it is worth praising the vegetable (or should I say fruit?) Of the squash family.
Many people think it’s a tired vegetable. No color, no sensational taste, like soup served in a hospital without color or taste.
In my opinion? That’s one of its virtues. The zucchini is a fantastic raw material for any dish.
Did I mention that it is madly hot in Arizona? (122 ℉!!) and when it is so hot, I prefer to eat light food. As I have mentioned before, I had three poor, old zucchinis that I wondered what to do with them.
