A spiralizer is a kitchen gadget used to transform fruits and vegetables into long, thin strips or spirals. It works by attaching various blades to a base that holds them in place while you turn the handle to create the desired shape. Spiralizers are commonly used to make zucchini noodles (zoodles), but can also be used with other fruits and vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers or apples. The spiralized ingredients can then be used in a variety of dishes like salads, pastas, stir-fries, and more for added texture and nutrition.
