This goes in the "who knew?" category. Zucchini is not just for getting rid of!!
Snips from a recent blog post by the author of "Edible Landscaping:"
over the past six weeks, my four plants have produced 52.5 pounds! At the local market, organically grown zucchini sells for $1.29 a pound. You do the math.
zucchini is amazingly nutritious. It’s low in carbohydrates, and very high in lutein, an anti-oxidant, which, according to the Mayo Clinic, helps protect vision and may prevent macular degeneration. Zucchini is also a source of potassium, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and phosphorus. And it is a mild anti-inflammatory.
after draining, you can freeze the grated zucchini and add it to fall and winter stews, soups, and of course, zucchini bread.
my comment:
Oh, man! Check out the Zuke/Cornbread Pancake recipe!! But, seriously, with SALSA???? Forget that. Maple syrup! Duh.
