Canam Fresh Zucchini
Choose zucchini that are small to medium in size, firm but still tender with vibrant tone, and no blemishes. It will keep for about a week in a perforated bag in the fridge. Recipes often suggest removing some of the water from zucchinis by slicing, then placing in a shallow bowl, sprinkling with salt, then rinsing under cold water after about 20-30 minutes.
Zucchini Nutritional Info
Zucchini is very low-calorie, a rich source of Vitamins A (thanks to beta-carotene) and C, manganese, potassium, and magnesium. It contains decent amounts of Vitamin B1, K, B6 (folate), copper, and phosphorous, and smaller amounts of iron, calcium, and zinc.
Zucchini Taste Profile
Zucchini’s gentle taste and slightly watery flesh make it the perfect addition to a kaleidoscope of sweet and savory recipes. It can be eaten raw or baked, fried, grilled, stuffed, boiled, stir-fried, or microwaved.
