Ditch your bread for zucchini

Bread may be a staple food item in your household for everything from breakfasts to supper. But as everyone knows, it’s not the healthiest food to consume, especially white bread because its heavily refined.

There are other alternatives to bread, some of them are unusual like cauliflower and some you probably never hear of like zucchini. Zucchini also known as courgette or marrow is a summer squash which can reach nearly a metre in length.

With many people suffering from gluten problems or those who have given up bread can try zucchini recipes to replace bread:
