Origin
Zucchini, also known as courgette, is a summer squash that belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family. It is native to Central and South America, specifically Mexico. Zucchini was cultivated by the Native Americans for thousands of years before it was introduced to Europe by Christopher Columbus during his expeditions. It quickly spread throughout the continent and became a popular ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. Today, zucchini is grown and consumed in various parts of the world, including North America, Europe, and Asia. The prepared zucchini slices are typically made by cutting the zucchini into thin slices and cooking or preserving them according to different culinary traditions.
