What is Zucchini?

Zucchini is a summer squash and vegetable that grows rapidly. They can reach over a foot in length and will have a lesser quality of flavor and texture the larger they are. Most grocery store zucchinis are less than a foot in length and a few inches in diameter. They have thin, dark green skins that are smooth and sometimes shiny. The inside of the zucchini has a dense, yet spongy texture when raw and a pale green, or cream color. Seeds grow down the center of the vegetable and are soft and edible. Cooked zucchini is soft and mild tasting with a sweet vegetal flavor.

What does Zucchini Taste Like?

Sweet

Sweet is one of the five main tastes. It has smooth and round notes in its flavor profile. Sweet is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including fruits, berries, winter squashes, sugarcane, and honey. The sweet taste in these foods is due to a higher sugar content. Sweetness is characteristic of desserts and is used as an accent in savory foods.
