Origin
Zucchinis, also known as courgettes, are a type of summer squash that originated in the Americas. They were first cultivated in Mesoamerica, specifically in what is now Mexico and Central America. Zucchinis were later introduced to Europe by Christopher Columbus during his explorations in the late 15th century. From there, they spread to other parts of the world through trade and colonization. Today, zucchinis are grown in many countries around the world and are a popular ingredient in various cuisines.
