Zucchini

Cups of shredded zucchini in 2 medium Zucchini?

If it is kept frozen, in a properly sealed container and is not subjected to temperature fluctuations (as in a self-defrosting freezer), it can keep for a year and longer. Try to consume it before the next crop comes in. It can actually "keep" much longer, but the quality will deteriorate.

Most people consider them vegetables but they are actually fruit. They have seeds inside them, therefore they are fruit. That's why tomatoes are actually fruit, they have seeds inside of them.

Most cucumber plants contain a bitter compound called cucurbitacin, which can be present in the fruit as well as the foliage. Bitterness in cucumbers tends to be more prominent when plants are under stress from low moisture, high temperatures or poor nutrition.

For some cucumber eaters, the bitter taste can be accompanied by a digestive discomfort known as a burp. Some of the newer cultivars of cucumbers do not have the bitter compound and, thus, no burp. So, some seed companies called their bitter-free cukes "burpless."

The amount of bitterness in the cucumber depends on the severity of the heat and drought. In most cases, cutting off the stem-end and removing the skin of bitter cucumbers will remove much of the bitterness. Some fruits will be bitter all the way through and should be discarded. Bitter cucumbers will not taste any better when pickled!

Watering during droughty periods to provide 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water in a single application will help keep bitterness out of subsequent fruits. Apply a mulch, such as straw, shredded bark or newspaper, to help cool the soil, conserve moisture and keep weeds under control.

Next year, your best bet is to plant bitter-free cultivars and provide optimum growing conditions, when possible. Many cultivars are listed as being bitter-free, including Carmen, County Fair, Diva, Green Knight, Sweet Slice, Sweet Success and Tasty Green. New cultivars arrive each year

It is kind of looks like a cucumber but it isn't the same inside. Indeed all squash, gourds, and melons are members of the same botanical family as cucumbers, Cucurbitaceae. All belong to the type of fruit called peppo. A peppo is a berry with a thick skin outside, fleshy interior. Isn't it remarkable that the cucumber and cantelope are in the same botanical family?

Zucchini are a type of summer squash - the skin is not as thick nor the flesh as dry and sugary as winter squash, so they do not keep well.

You can. If your eating it raw yes if not it doesnt matter.

Quick breads (chemically leavened) which most zucchini bread recipes are, were not developed until the end of the 18th century. This took place in America, where pearlash was discovered. Pearlash is a refined form of potash, and it produces carbon dioxide gas in dough.

The best way is to attract honeybees by planting attractive flowers such as bee balm nearby. Of course you should also avoid using insecticides while the zucchini are flowering. If you mean to artificially pollinate by hand, you could channel your inner Gregor Mendel, use a tiny watercolor brush, remove polen from the stamens and gently dab onto the pistils of the flowers. In my experience, just having squash flowers attracts bees, and bees are very good pollinators.

Zucchini infected with leaf curl virus are generally safe to eat, as the virus does not pose a health risk to humans. However, the quality, taste, and texture of the fruit may be affected, often resulting in smaller or misshapen zucchini. It's advisable to inspect the zucchini for any signs of decay or spoilage before consumption. If in doubt, it's best to consult a gardening expert or discard the affected plants.

Zucchini - novel - was created in 1982.

I love zucchini and grow it in my garden every year. Zucchini is pretty much tasteless, and takes on the flavor of whatever it is mixed in with it. I make zucchini bread with pineapple, nuts and raisins, chocolate zucchini bread, which tastes like brownies, lemon zucchini bread with nuts, zest of a lemon and lemon flavoring. With that being said, this is how I would do it. If you want zucchini to taste like apple pie use all the ingredients you normally use for apple pie, substituting zucchini for apples. Zucchini has a lot of water, so I think I would slice, chop it and put on paper towels to remove some of the moisture. I even think you could mix zucchini and apples.

Baking soda will cause things to rise also. Muffins are smaller so there is not as much need for lift. Baking powder will give more rise than soda. Whoever created the recipe chose to use soda instead of baking powder.

yes

You should always measure when something is cooked by feeling it not timing it. At a high tempature zucchini can cook within 12 to 15 minutes If your baking it the time may vary.

The zucchini is also known as a courgette.

This vegetable originated from Italy, but is now grown all over Europe.

I also wanna know :)

Yes, zucchini bread can be made without cinnamon, but it will not taste quite the same as traditional zucchini bread. You might want to experiment by substituting other "sweet" spices such as ginger, allspice or nutmeg.

Netherland bunnies can eat the same foods as other pet rabbits. See the related questions below for info that apply to all pet rabbits (including Netherlands).

Water your plants every day. with a hose cap that can give you the impression of a shower. you can also by a sweat hose that you turn the water in and it wates it in drops all day turn it off in the evening.

yes,but cut it up so your feathered friend wont choke

No you don't need to sift the flour. However, by doing so, your bread will be less dense, and more uniform in texture, as sifting will remove lumps and add air to your batter. If you do not ha e a softer, then a fine mesh drive will work just as well. If that is not available, then whisk your flour before adding it to the batter.

Yes, you can eat all parts of a zucchini, including the skin, flesh, and seeds. The skin is nutritious and adds texture, while the flesh is versatile for cooking. Even the flowers, known as zucchini blossoms, are edible and often used in various dishes. Just be sure to wash the zucchini thoroughly before consuming it.
