Zucchini

Info

Zucchini is a fruit – yes, a fruit. It is also called “summer squash.” Lady Moon Farms offers both green and yellow varieties. Zucchini requires plentiful bees for pollination. If you grow zucchini at home, you may need to hand pollinate it if a male and female flower are not open at the same time. Unpollinated fruits wither and die.

Selection

Lady Moon Farms zucchini have smooth firm skin with a shiny appearance and silky texture. Choose zucchini that are free of wrinkles and pitted areas.

Wash the zucchini gently under cool water remove the spiny stalk where it meets the smooth part of the fruit. Prepare with skin intact for maximum nutrition.
