Should I peel zucchini

I love your Vit K list showing low, medium, high levels of Vitamin K. I did not see zucchini listed. I roast it with yellow squash and peppers in a small amount of olive oil and need to know if I should peel it. Thank you for your wonderful website. It is very educational and I am going to share the info with my family physician so he can point other warfarin patients to it.

The Health meets Food Team Says...

Wow, your recipe of roasting squash, zucchini and peppers together sounds fantastic. Having the zucchini is safe whether you peel it or not.

According to the USDA, a medium sized, raw, and unpeeled zucchini has 5 micrograms (mcg) of Vitamin K and a cup of chopped zucchini (also unpeeled) comes in at 8 mcg. This would be considered a low amount of Vitamin K when the daily RDA is 76-80mcg.

Thanks for writing.
