Green Courgette
Description
Green Courgette, also known as Zucchini, is a sleek, summer squash with a smooth, dark green skin and crisp, creamy flesh. It has a mild, slightly buttery flavour that acts as a perfect canvas for both delicate herbs and bold spices. Because of its high water content, it cooks incredibly fast, transitioning from crunchy to tender in just minutes.
Culinary Versatility
While popular in Mediterranean dishes like Ratatouille or grilled platters, Courgette is surprisingly at home in Indian kitchens. It serves as an excellent, faster cooking substitute for Lauki (Bottle Gourd) in everyday Sabzis. You can grate it to make light, fluffy Courgette Koftas, slice it into stir fries, or even use it to add moisture to cakes and breads. For a modern twist, use a spiralizer to create "Zoodles" for a low carb pasta alternative.
Nutritional Benefits
At just 17kcal per 100g, Courgettes are one of the most hydrating vegetables you can eat. they are a rich source of Vitamin A, which supports vision and skin health, and Manganese, which aids in bone strength. The skin contains most of the antioxidants and fibre, making it a heart-healthy choice that aids in smooth digestion.
Storage & Care
Keep courgettes unwashed in a reusable bag in the fridge crisper. They are sensitive to ethylene gas, so keep them away from ripening fruits like bananas to prevent them from turning mushy.
Pro-Tip: To avoid a watery dish, salt sliced courgettes for 10 minutes and pat them dry before sautéing. This draws out excess moisture, allowing the vegetable to brown beautifully and absorb more flavour. Use within 5 to 7 days.
