Mini courgette (100g)

Description

Helps you lose weight

Its low calorie content makes it recommended for weight-loss diets, although this value depends on how it's prepared. When fried, it can double its calorie count because it readily absorbs oil.

It is digestive

Due to its rich content of mucilage (a type of fiber), this vegetable has emollient properties, which help with digestion. It also has a mild laxative effect and is recommended for people with stomach problems, indigestion, gastritis, and constipation.

It is beneficial for the heart

It has beneficial effects on the kidneys due to its high
potassium level and low sodium (salt) level. It is recommended for
people suffering from any kidney or cardiovascular pathology and
hypertension, because it helps to normalize blood pressure levels.

Versatility in the kitchen

Courgettes can be prepared in a thousand ways: boiled, sautéed,
fried, baked, stuffed or gratin, in salads and soups or as
accompaniment to meat or fish.
