Offer only small plain pieces raw or cooked without sauces. Remove seasoned skins or toppings before sharing. Keep portions modest and monitor stool response when introducing zucchini.
Zucchini is a tender summer squash with thin green skin and pale flesh. Eaten raw in salads, sautéed, grilled, roasted, or baked into breads. Provides water, fiber, vitamin C, and low calories.
Human recipes often cook zucchini with oil, butter, garlic, onion, or cheese. Baked goods like zucchini bread add sugar and fat.
Sold in frozen medleys and pre-seasoned grill packs that may include onion, sauces, or butter. Large raw portions can be bulky and may cause gas.
