Summer Squash

• ​Ideal temp: 40-50°F. Keep in your fridge, but in the warmest spot (front of shelves). Store unwashed in an open plastic bag - a sealed plastic bag in cold storage will lead to faster decay. Be careful of bruising. Rinse and dry before use. Storage life: 10-14 days.

• Zucchini is so versitile, you can shred it to make breads, use a spiralizer to make “zoodles”, cut in half lengthwize and cut out the seeds and fill with meat sauce and cheese for zucchini boats, throw into stir fries, slice and grill, and so much more.

• At the very beginning of summer squash season, we like to eat squash raw, shaved in a salad.  It is so sweet and mild when it is harvested at the baby stage!

• Summer squash can also be pickled or made into relish to preserve for the winter season.
