Marrow Jordan

Marrows are an acquired taste, more watery and bland than young, sweet courgettes, but they’re a wonderful blank canvas for spiced or strongly flavoured foods. Add marrows to curries to soak up and amplify the flavours of the spices, or stuff them with marinated meat, pungent cheese or hot chorizo.

Nutritional Value

Their low saturated fat and cholesterol content makes baby marrows an excellent vegetable for low-fat diets, but their sodium content is relatively high. They are a good source of B vitamins as well as dietary fibre, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K and minerals.
