MARROW is a type of squash, typically green in colour, and is a mature version of the courgette. It has stripes and a soft skin, as well as soft flesh inside.

LIKE many other varieties of squash, marrow contains a high level of fibre, which is essential for a healthy digestive tract to eliminate problems like constipati­on or bloating.

VITAMIN C in the marrow is an important element for the creation of collagen that gives structure, strength and support to muscles, skin and bones in the body.

MARROW is rich in vitamin E which helps in fighting off free radicals in the body and promotes healthy skin and hair.

MARROW contains omega 3 fatty acids, zeaxanthin, betacarote­ne and polysaccha­rides.

MARROW contains magnesium and zinc which help in regulating the blood sugar levels.
