One cup of zucchini has 36 calories and 10% of the RDA of dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, prevents constipation, maintains low blood sugar and curbs overeating and helps to lower cholesterol.
Sometimes the Zucchini may have a bitter taste, so you can remove the bitterness the same way you remove the bitterness from a cucumber.
When you cut the end off of the zucchini/cucumber, rub the cut piece in a circular motion on the end of the zucchini/cucumber. The zucchini/cucumber will release a white foamy substance. Wash this off, cut as desired and use.
