# Did you know that Zucchini can be made nutritional on your plate?

Towards the end of the challenge, I picked up Zucchini for today's letter. Well, it's not new to me but I didn't know anything beyond its name. This year I have added researching as an important rule for curating my content and I am simply loving it. So today, I am going to share with you how to make Zucchini nutritional for your daily diet?

## How does Zucchini look?

Zucchini mostly looks like cucumber if you want to understand in desi language as I did. It is a combination of sweet and bitter. When it's cooked it gives a mild flavour with a rich feel. Zucchini is tender as it's harvested when it's still growing.

People do like to eat Zucchini as raw also like in salads or pasta. It serves as a low carb replacement of a vegetable. Some recipes have Zucchini roasted as per individuals liking.
