Courgette, fried in corn oil

Courgette is a vegetable; the figures here describe it with the ends trimmed, sliced and shallow fried in corn oil. Prepared this way, it provides fat, small amounts of carbohydrate and protein, and vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 4.8g of fat, 0.6g of saturated fat, 15mg of vitamin C and 490mg of potassium.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation in tissues such as skin and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Frying adds fat, so the amount of oil used is relevant when considering fat and energy intake. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
