Can zucchini and garlic scapes be stir-fried together?

Generally speaking, zucchini and garlic sprouts can be stir-fried and eaten together, but moderation is advised. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Zucchini, also known as Chinese squash, is a monoecious plant from the gourd family. It is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and carbohydrates, and has effects of promoting diuresis, reducing edema, clearing heat, and relieving phlegm.

Garlic sprouts are warm in nature and help strengthen the body and regulate qi. They also possess antibacterial and blood-activating properties, providing supportive benefits for treating belching and diarrhea. The spicy compounds and allicin in garlic sprouts have strong antibacterial effects, achieving a natural deworming purpose. Moreover, garlic sprouts are rich in dietary fiber; moderate consumption helps moisturize the intestines, relieve constipation, promote digestion and metabolism, and improve bowel movements. When both ingredients are properly cooked, their components generally do not interact negatively, making them safe to stir-fry together.

However, it should be noted that both garlic sprouts and zucchini contain high amounts of dietary fiber. Excessive consumption may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, including indigestion, bloating, and abdominal pain. Additionally, garlic sprouts are somewhat pungent, and overconsumption may cause a burning sensation in the stomach. Therefore, both should be consumed in moderation.
