Zucchini, scientifically known as Cucurbita pepo, is a creeping annual herbaceous plant with heights ranging from 15-57cm. Its origin is uncertain, but it thrives in full sun and well-drained, rich soil under warm to temperate climates. Surprisingly, zucchini fruits are harvested unripe, making them a popular food item due to their low calorie count (95% water) and pleasant taste. Not only are they delicious, but they're also nutritious. They contain carotenoids, which have potent anti-tumor properties, and can help treat kidney and urinary issues, heart disease, and diabetes. Zucchini even promotes better sleep and has sedative qualities. The seeds are great for intestinal health as they're toxic to parasites like tapeworms, while the edible flowers can be enjoyed fried.
