Raw zucchini pasta and ingredients, copy space

Zucchini Pasta Primavera is a true staple in our home.

As I continue living the alkaline lifestyle I learned about while beating Stage IV cancer, it is important to have a handful of “go to” raw food recipes up my sleeve. Zucchini pasta is a top contender. You can use green, yellow or both to create many varieties.

Truthfully I will go to the salad bar and get a few favorites then toss them into the raw pasta. Seriously, how fast and simple is that! 


two fresh zucchini isolatedZucchini (Cucurbita pepo) is a popular variety of summer squash that can be consumed raw or cooked.

  • Zucchinis were first brought to the United States in the 1920s by the Italians.
  • April 25th is National Zucchini Bread Day.
  • The flower of the zucchini plant is edible. Fried squash blossoms are considered a delicacy.
  • Mild bitterness in zucchini, like that in related species like cucumbers, may be result from environmental factors such as high temperature, low moisture, low soil nutrients, etc.
  • The bitterness is caused by compounds called cucurbitacins.
  • The world’s largest zucchini on record was 69 1/2 inches long, and weighed 65 lbs. Bernard Lavery of Plymouth Devon, UK, grew the humongous veggie.
  • Nutrients and vitamins found in zucchini can help prevent cancer and heart disease.
  • A zucchini has more potassium than a banana.
  • The word zucchini comes from ‘zucca’ the Italian word for squash.Biggest is NOT best. The most flavorful zucchinis are small- to medium-sized and the darker the skin, the richer the nutrients.
