Zucchini/Courgette

What do you guys think of these?

I used to love them cooked. I used to love them raw. Now I'm finding them bland, and almost inedible by themselves without sauces etc. I like that they can be used in low fat recipes, but for how filling they are, they don't seem especially nutritious.

Or maybe I chose the wrong time to renew my interest in them and they're out of season and produce is just bad quality.

Yes, it happened to me too, to think they aren't tasty anymore, and I was eating them only with tomato sauce, as before I would find them tasty on their own. I think it's just a phase, sometimes you like them as they are, sometimes they are good only with something else. They are very water-rich, which is a good thing. They also have a mild flavour, which makes them good for combining with a stronger flavour. They make perfect spaghetti, which is why I like having them in my diet. However, in winter time they don't taste that good as our local ones, and they are very expensive, so I rarely buy them in winter.

I find zucchini nutritious, but yeah, I need a sauce to go with it. It is high in protein, per 50 calories, 4 g. of protein. Very good source of vitamin C too.
