 🥒Zucchinis have an assortment of names including Marrow by the British and Courgette by the French
🥒Zucchinis can range from 4 inches to the size of a baseball bat. 🥒They taste best when they are 5-8 inches long 🥒Most squash have seed and there is no exception with the zucchini they have large, tough seeds that should be removed unless prefered otherwise. 😎 I usually think of turnips as more of a winter vegetable, but last week I received a bunch of small, sweet, turnips and they were quite good eaten raw and sliced thinly onto a salad. 🥗 🌰 Turnips originally come from Russia, Siberia and the Scandanavian península. They are a member of the cabbage family and has round or top shaped roots, white skin with purplish or greenish crowns, and thin, green, hairy leaves. 🌰 They flourish in poor soils and keep well, making them traditionally popular with the poor. However, it’s valuable for its nutrients and medicinal and healthful qualities.  🌰 Raw turnips have a tangy flavor similar to a mild radish but are sweet when cooked. The root is high in Vitamin C.
