Did you know?
The blossoms picked are mostly male flowers that bear no fruit, so harvesting them does not reduce the squash yield. In the Aegean they are stuffed with rice, in Mexico they go into soup.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
