Nutritional values

As a vegetable rich in potassium, zucchini is important for various metabolic processes. The magnesium it also contains strengthens the muscles and nerves. Various secondary plant substances such as polyphenols and flavonoids from basil ward off free radicals and help to keep body cells healthy.

Refine your gratin with homemade pesto: The Green Pesto from EAT SMARTER is a classic and is very suitable for this dish. Instead of the mountain cheese you can also use Parmesan or Grana Padano.
