Nutritional benefits:
According to the nutrition, zucchini is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and beneficial plant compounds. It is rich in vitamin A, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin K.
Oleev olive pomace oil, on the other hand, is rich in almost 80 per cent monounsaturated fats (MUFA) that can help lower cholesterol levels.
