Zucchini recipes, Famously prolific summer squash plants bring plenty of zucchini, yellow crookneck, and pattypan squash into our lives at this time of year.
The mild-tasting, versatile vegetable (okay, technically a fruit) is equally delicious in savory and sweet dishes.
In Season: Summer squash are in season during the summer, peaking at the end.
What to Look For: Look for summer squash that are firm and heavy for their size; the skin should be brightly colored and blemish-free. Because they are harvested earlier, smaller squash are more tender than larger ones and have thinner skins; choose squash that are less than eight inches long.
How to Store: Refrigerate in a plastic bag for up to four days; do not wash until ready to use.
