High in Antioxidants

Zucchini is also rich in antioxidants.

Antioxidants are beneficial plant compounds that help protect your body from damage by free radicals.
Carotenoids — such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene — are particularly plentiful in zucchini.
These may benefit your eyes, skin, and heart, as well as offer some protection against certain types of cancer, such as prostate cancer.
