Why does kolokythokeftedes receive a Nutri‑Score of C, and which nutrients influence this rating the most?

The score is driven by moderate levels of fat (11 g), saturated fat (3.1 g) and salt (0.85 g) per 100 g, which add negative points, while the protein (5.7 g) and fruit‑vegetable‑legume content (43 %) contribute only modest positive points, resulting in an overall C grade.

How does the salt content of 0.85 g per 100 g affect people who need to limit sodium, such as those with hypertension?

0.85 g of salt equals about 340 mg of sodium per 100 g; for a typical serving this adds a modest amount to daily intake, but individuals on a strict low‑sodium diet should still monitor portion size to stay within recommended limits.

Are these zucchini fritters suitable for vegan, gluten‑free or keto diets?

No, they are not vegan because they contain feta cheese (milk), not gluten‑free because of wheat flour in the breadcrumb coating, and not keto friendly due to the 20 g of carbohydrates per 100 g.
