Courgette, dried

Dried courgette is courgette with most of its water removed. It provides carbohydrate, protein and fibre, along with minerals including calcium, magnesium and potassium. Per 100g, it contains 41g of carbohydrate, including 39g of sugars, as well as 23g of protein and 9g of fibre. These figures describe the dried food rather than fresh courgette.

Drying concentrates nutrients and sugars into a smaller weight of food, which is worth noting when considering sugar and energy intake. Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while fibre helps support normal bowel function. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. Salt is present only in trace amounts. Full nutritional figures are shown in the tables below.
