Zucchini has a remarkable vitamin complex, with a particular focus on vitamins A and K, which are good for healthy vision, bones and the immune system.

B vitamins, more specifically B1, B2, B3 and B5, and nutrients such as manganese, potassium, magnesium, folic acid and phosphorus, are also important constituents of this fruit.

Although in smaller quantities, this vegetable still contains iron, calcium and zinc.

Another of the great nutritional advantages of zucchini is its remarkable presence of antioxidants, mainly in the peel, powerful "shields" that protect the body from free radicals (responsible for oxidative stress that can lead to changes in lipids, proteins and DNA, leading to disease).
