Zucchini Health Overview
Overall, zucchini has very few health concerns. Keep in mind that while zucchini is not necessarily unhealthy it does not provide as much nutritional value as other common veggies like carrots or cabbage. Below are some note-worthy nutritional details on zucchini:
Very AlkalineRaw zucchini is very alkaline and has an average pH value of 9.0. This makes zucchini a good choice when your beardies meal is too acidic as the high alkaline levels will help reduce the meal's acidity and lower the risk of stomach irritation.
Poor Calcium to Phosphorus RatioZucchini has roughly twice as much phosphorus as it does calcium. Phosphorus blocks calcium absorption so you will need to provide your beardie with additional calcium whenever you serve zucchini.
