HOW TO PICK THE BEST ZUCCHINI?
Zucchini is the main ingredient here, so you’ll want to make sure you pick the best ones. When shopping for zucchini, try to find small (6- to 9-inches in length) and relatively thin ones. The zucchini should feel heavy for its size. The skin should look smooth, with dark green color and free of blemishes.
