How to Cook Zucchini

95% of zucchini is water, so when it s cooked, water will ooze out. Therefore, you need to salt the zucchinis first and then allow the excess water to get drained out before the preparation is done. While you are eating this fruit, do not remove the skin because it comprises the important nutrient beta carotene, the vitamin component acting as an antioxidant thereby protecting cells from oxidation damage. The edible flowers of zucchini are often used in French and Italian cooking. One of the easiest ways of having zucchini is by sprinkling grated zucchini or other varieties of summer squash on salads and sandwiches. You can also add zucchini to your favorite bread recipe; thereby reducing the amount of liquid in the recipe, since the zucchini is compensating for moisture in a different way.
