Neither zucchini nor cucumber, Zucchiolo® is a naturally developed vegetable variety entirely its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZucchiolo® is shaped like a small kabocha squash and comes in three distinct colorings: deep green, light green, and a striking yellow with bold green veining. Zucchiolo® skin is thin, glossy, taut, and entirely edible. Underneath, the pale, dense flesh is notably crunchier than a common zucchini, with a crisp, succulent texture that immediately recalls a cucumber. Tiny ivory seeds are edible and nearly undetectable when eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZucchiolo® delivers a mild, subtly sweet, and green-forward flavor that absorbs and amplifies whatever it's cooked alongside. Zucchiolo® is crisp and refreshing raw, and when cooked it softens into something tender and savory-sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy Zucchiolo® sliced fresh into salads or on grazing boards, or cook with it; it sautés, grills, and roasts beautifully. Zucchiolo® is ideal for grain bowls, stir-fries, or simply with a drizzle of good olive oil and flaky salt. Skin-on preparation is encouraged, and no peeling or seeding is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage: Store whole Zucchiolo® in the refrigerator crisper for 1–2 weeks. Once cut, keep in an airtight container and use within 3–5 days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melissas Produce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45703604764716,"sku":"2480","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0336\/7167\/5948\/files\/image-of-zucchiolo-vegetables-1245939619.jpg?v=1782333549","url":"https:\/\/www.melissas.com\/products\/zucchiolo","provider":"Melissas Produce","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
