Zucchini
Also called courgette, zucchini originates in America, grows year-round, and can vary in color from yellow, to a variety of greens. The small summer squash resembles a rigged cucumber and it loaded with seeds. Today, the largest zucchini producers include Japan, China, Romania, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, and Argentina.

Even though zucchini is a fruit, it is usually cooked as a vegetable because it is best when eaten in cooked dishes. Zucchini’s are picked when ripe when they’re under 8in/20cm in length and the seeds are soft and young. A fully developed zucchini is usually three feet long, but they are often too much fibrous and not good to eat. Young zucchini have a subtle taste, soft covering and buttery white flesh. They are available in their best form during May and July. Almost all the parts of zucchini are edible, including the flesh, seeds and even the skin.
