“Zucchini flowers are so flavorsome,” said my husband, who is native to Greece. Indeed, there are many dishes using zucchini flowers in Mediterranean counties. I have never tried zucchini flowers before and I was always fascinated about eating them.
So I planted six zucchini plants this spring and was looking forward to harvesting the flowers.
However, a few weeks ago, when they were ready to blossom, the plants suddenly started dying. After searching webs for the cause, I found out they were attacked by squash vine borers. In fact, I found the babies and eggs lying on the zucchini leaves. Yikes!!!
Fortunately, several flowers were surviving and I was able to eat them! Certainly they are very delicious. It is sweet and has a delicate flavor. The flowers could be better than zucchini fruits!
Wow, all those dishes look delicious. Good nutrition is important. A nutritionist salary and the ability to help people can make being a nutritionist a rewarding career. http://www.nutritionistsalary.org
