Notes:Zucchini is a species of the Cucurbita genus whose fruits, instead of being allowed to ripe, are cropped unripe. They are a very popular food because of the very low calories (95% of the fruit is made of water) and good taste. Zucchini also have important features for health: they contain carotenoids, a powerful anti-tumoral agent. They also help curing kidney and urinary diseases, heart diseases, and diabetes. They help relax and sleep, a quality known in the ancient times. The seeds are powerful disinfectants for the intestine, as they are innocuous to man but lethal to tapeworm and other parasites. The flowers are edible and eaten fried.
