ZUCCHINI QUINOA KEBABS

Zucchini is a squash family vegetable which was originated in Northern Italy. It can be dark green or yellow. In a simple way, we know it as the foreign cucumber 😄. Zucchini improves digestion, slows down aging, lowers blood sugar levels and boosts energy levels. Quinoa is a pseudocereal grain and because of it’s enormous amount of nutrients and health benefits it is considered as a super food. Quinoa is one of the main plant based protein source.
