Explanation
A zucchini is a long, green vegetable that looks like a cucumber but is softer when cooked. For example, “She made a soup with zucchini and carrots.” Zucchini can be boiled, fried, or baked, and it’s healthy because it has vitamins and water. In some countries, it is called courgette. People use it in salads, soups, or other quickly cooked dishes, and it can even be made into bread.
