Green Courgettes – Fresh Produce NZ

Approx 5-10 courgettes per 1kg – but actual quantity may vary.

Courgettes are also known as zucchini, and can come in green-skinned and yellow-skinned varieties.

Courgettes are very versatile and easy to prepare. Trim the stalk end off, slice and eat raw or cooked. There is no need to peel them. Slice across the courgette for stir fries and halve or slice into strips for char grilling or barbecues. Courgettes can be grated or finely chopped and used in salads, flans or quiches. Like carrots they make moist cakes and breads. Bake, braise, grill/char grill/barbecue, microwave, roast, steam, stew, stir fry.
