Zucchinis are a source of carotenoids, primarily lutein, β-carotene, and zeaxanthin; vitamins C, B6, riboflavin, thiamin, and niacin; phenolic compounds; and minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus. These nutrients are associated with antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. Zucchinis are also high in water and dietary fiber, making them a low-carbohydrate food often included in weight-loss diets.
