Kitchen Hint of the Day!

A few Zucchini hints......

* Handle zucchini carefully; they’re thin-skinned and easily damaged. To pick the freshest zucchini, look for a firm heavy squash with a moist stem end and a shiny skin. Smaller squash are generally sweeter and more tender than larger ones.

* One pound will yield about 3 medium-sized zucchini or about 3 cups sliced or rough chop.

* Zucchini is a good source of Vitamins A and C, and is low in calories making it an excellent choice for dieters. No need to peel or seed, and young zucchini can be eaten raw in salads. It's completely edible once the stem end is trimmed.
