What Are Zucchini Flowers?

The flowers are the edible flower of the zucchini plant. Bright yellow in color with striations of white and green, they are tasty whether eaten raw or cooked. When you first pick them or buy them, it’s wise to gently shake off any moisture or insects that may be hiding inside the flowers, especially if it’s the morning and the blossoms are closed. But they don’t really need any extensive preparation before using. They’re delicate and don’t last long, so any excess moisture will accelerate deterioration. Keep them as dry as you can until you’re ready to use them.
