Nutritional values

Mild bitters and mucilages in the zucchini peel gently stimulate the intestines and make the pulp easily digestible. Together with coconut milk, the vegetables also cover about 50 percent of your baby's daily folic acid requirement.

Zucchini is so versatile but you can also use yellow squash.
