Mother Earth Astrology’s A to Z to Wellness – Z is for Zucchini
Z’s for Zucchini,
A raw pasta treat,

Benefits of Zucchini:
A great all-rounder, Zucchini is packed full of nutrition; the highest being Copper and Manganese. It also contains high amounts of Vitamin C, Magnesium, Fibre, Phosphorous and Potassium making it an excellent fruit (yes, it’s a fruit) for:
- The Skin,
- Bones/Tissue,
- Constipation-relief
- Cholesterol Control
- Energy Production
- Inflammation and Blood Sugar Control
- Nervous System Support
- Men’s Health (Penis and Prostrate).
- High Copper (Great for Skin, Bones/Tissue, Cholesterol Control and Energy Production),
- High Manganese (Great for Skin and Blood Sugar Control)
To make vegan Zucchini pasta simply:
- Peel 2 to 4 Zucchinis
- Push each Zucchini through a spiraliser or use a potato peeler to slice long ribbons from the Zucchini.
- Drizzle with a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Add a Pinch of Salt
- Toss through with fingers
- Add favourite topping and Stir through until combined
- Enjoy
Topping Ideas:
- Home Made Basil Pesto with quartered cherry tomatoes and pine nuts
- Cashew Cream Cheese (I use Kehoe’s Kitchen) with torn Basil Leaves and a drizzle of Garlic Oil (crush 1 Garlic Clove and stir into Extra Virgin Olive Oil with a Pinch of Salt) and Black Pepper
