Courgette
Courgette, also known as zucchini, is a type of vegetable that belongs to the squash family. It is a plant-based ingredient that is widely used in cooking due to its versatility and mild taste. Courgettes can vary in colour from dark green to yellow and are commonly found in the fresh produce section of supermarkets.
Courgettes are grown in gardens or farms and harvested when they are still young and tender. They are typically picked when they are about six to eight inches long to ensure a soft texture. Courgettes can be cooked in various ways, such as grilling, sautéing, or roasting, and are a popular ingredient in Mediterranean dishes like ratatouille and courgette fritters.
Courgette is often included in food products for its subtle flavour and nutrition benefits. It can be found in ready meals, soups, sauces, and even baked goods. Courgette adds moisture and a slight sweetness to dishes like pasta sauces and muffins while also contributing to the overall texture. Its neutral taste makes it a versatile ingredient that pairs well with a wide range of other flavours.
