Zucchini makes food smart and healthy
The garden pumpkin from which today’s pumpkins are grown finds its true origins in America. Yet zucchini began its triumphal march in European cuisines in Italy. There, in the 17th century, delicious vegetables were suddenly found in the markets, and so it has a very long tradition. However, it took some time for pumpkins to become popular in Germany. By the 1970s, we too learned to appreciate and love them.
Pumpkin is very healthy
In terms of ingredients, zucchini is healthy but nothing special. It is a delicious vegetable with a wide variety of preparation options. Like most vegetables, zucchini contains trace elements as well as carotenoids, numerous vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, C) and minerals. These include above all potassium, phosphorus, iron, selenium, manganese and zinc.
Of particular interest is the vitamin B1 it contains, which makes it a real brain food. But more on that in a moment.
In addition, after eating zucchini, our intestinal activity is stimulated and thus constipation is prevented. In addition to its drainage effect, the “small pumpkin”, which is recommended for high blood pressure, strengthens our immune system.

An important part of the messenger substance for our nervous system is broken down much more slowly by vitamin B1. As a result, we stay mentally productive longer and can concentrate better.
