What can I substitute for zucchini?

About zucchini

Zucchini is a mild summer squash believed to have originated in Mexico, though it's now widely cultivated across temperate climates. It has a subtle, slightly sweet flavour and tender flesh when cooked, with a neutral taste that absorbs surrounding flavours well. In cooking, zucchini acts as a versatile vehicle for other ingredients, adding moisture and bulk to dishes whilst its soft texture breaks down easily during cooking or can be kept firm when briefly sautéed.
