Zucchini

Sweet Zucchini, Where art thou?

Zucchini are a member of the cucurbit family, that means they are in cousins with watermelons, gherkins and cucumbers! They are usually marrows harvested at a young age.

Zucchini have high water content and low in calories. It also contains Vitamins A and C, folate and potassium.

Choose zucchini that are smaller and younger as they are sweeter. It should be firm and heavy with unblemished, bright & glossy skins.



You can store zucchini for 5 days in the fridge. Wash and trim both ends before cooking.
