Definition och Betydelse av "spiralizer"

What is a "spiralizer"?

A spiralizer is a kitchen tool used to create long, spiral-shaped strands or ribbons from vegetables and fruits. It typically consists of a handle, a blade assembly, and a turning mechanism. To use a spiralizer, you attach a vegetable or fruit to the blade assembly and then turn the handle, causing the produce to rotate against the blades, which slice it into thin, curly strands. Spiralizers come with various blade attachments, allowing for different shapes and thicknesses of spirals, such as spaghetti, fettuccine, or ribbon cuts. They are commonly used to make vegetable "noodles" or "zoodles" as a low-carb alternative to traditional pasta, as well as for creating decorative garnishes or adding texture to salads and other dishes.
