Storage and Preparation:
Types of greens zucchini is best when
eaten as soon as possible after being harvested. If it must be stored,
place it, unwashed, in a perforated plastic vegetable bag, in the
vegetable drawer of the refrigerator and plant o use it within two to
three days. If you cook types of greens zucchini often, it is better to
buy frequently in usable quantities than to stock up.
Since the entire squash is edible, types of greens zucchini requires
little preparation. It should be well washed, dried and the stem and
blossom ends trimmed. Types of greens zucchini can be halved, sliced,
cut into long ribbons with a vegetable peeler, diced, grated, or cut
into all sorts of shapes. It can be eaten raw, in sticks, cut into
salads, or cooked, and incorporated in hundreds of dishes.
Tip:
Types of greens zucchini, like all squash
contains a great deal of moisture. Some simple cooking recipes call for
salting it to remove some of this liquid so that it does not water down
the finished dish. To do this, salt the cut squash, tossing in a
colander or large strainer. Let it drain over a bowl, or in the sink,
for up to 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cold running water to
remove the excess salt. Then transfer to a kitchen towel and wring or
press dry before continuing with the recipe.
