Zucchini: also called courgette is a variety of pumpkin. 2-3 zucchini plants are enough to feed a family of four. The fruit appears and grows in groups and grow incredibly fast. To fully enjoy the flavour of zucchini, we should eat the vegetables not longer than 20cm. Bigger ones become watery, squashy and tasteless. The flowers are also edible and can be fried together with the fruit in pancake dough. Zucchini can be cultivated in a pot even on your balcony, but please bear in mind that it is sensitive to cold so we shouldn’t put it outside until the middle of May. Zucchini is not only light but it can also reduce body acidification. Because heavy metals do not accumulate in this vegetable, it can be served to children. It’s recommended even for 6-month-olds.
