Fresh zucchini from Mexico with smooth dark-green skin and crisp pale flesh. Often sliced, diced, grilled, roasted, or spiralized for stir-fries, pastas, and salads. Store refrigerated in a perforated bag for up to one week. Rinse before use. Pairs well with basil, thyme, lemon, and garlic for simple, flavorful preparations. Trim ends and cook until tender; avoid overcooking to retain texture.
