Zucchini, green skin, raw

Variety of marrow or summer squash, picked when small. Long and cylindrical in shape with green smooth skin and a cream flesh. Uncooked.

The majority of nutrients including proximates, vitamins and minerals were derived from 5 purchases of green zucchini (variety blackjack) from local supermarkets spread across socioeconomic scale in Sydney in 1984 (Wills et al 1987). Folate, minerals (Cu, Mn, P, Se, Cl, and F), vitamins (alpha and beta carotene, cryptoxanthin, alpha tocopherol, B6, biotin, pantothenate) and proximates (moisture, total dietary fibre) were derived from a composite of 10 samples of zucchini purchased in 1998 from Melbourne supermarkets (ANZFA, Folate Project, 1998). Moisture, minerals, sugars and iodine were derived from a composite of 8 purchases of green unpeeled zucchini grown in northern NSW and central and northern QLD in Melbourne in 2000. Cholesterol and retinol were imputed zero based on scientific literature.
