Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Leave the skin on and grate for zucchini bread. It also cooks up the same as zucchini. I like it steamed for a few minuted and I add to spaghetti sauce. It's good in soups, and I like it in lentil stew, I add thick rounds about 8 minutes before the stew is done.

I just bought some fresh zucchini from a couple of little kids down the street. They are yellow in color. I always knew zucchini to be green. Now is yellow more like a squash type? Do I use the yellow the same as I would the green? DH was saying the other day how zucchini bread sounded really good, would the yellow work? Thanks in advance to everyone.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Mindy, Yellow zucchini is really good! It's mild-flavored, like the green--not much difference in flavor or texture, at least, that has been my experience with it, and I have had yellow zucchini often. Several years ago, Burpee seeds came out with a hybrid (I guess it was a hybrid) yellow zucchini that I really, really LOVED and grew just a few times. It was called " Butterstick " and had a nice, nutty-buttery like flavor. Other yellow zucchinis I've had (not Butterstick kind) are similar, but I liked the flavor of that one the best of all. As with green zucchini, these are best when picked and used young, at about 6 " in length. I've never made zucchini bread from the yellow ones, but I suppose it can be done. If you try it, let us know how that came out! Good wishes for your good eating! --Laura B., in Illinois Posted by: " Mindy-n-Shawn " hunnybunns4233 hunnybunns4233 Thu Jul 31, 2008 7:43 am ((PDT)) Group, I have a question, think I know the answer, but want to hear from all of you too.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yellow zucchini is zucchini. yellow squash is different. The yellow zucchini looks like and is shaped just like a zucchini, almost the same diameter all the way alone. Yellow squash is more tear drop shapped and of course the crook neck have that also. They are pretty much interchagable in recipies except that the yellow squash doesn't take quite aas long to cook.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 If I remember right don't some yellow squashes have bumps or am I thinking of something else? Well looks like I will be baking some bread tonight. Was going to make a banana blueberry bread anyways, but I will also make the zucchini bread too. Now will soy milk work for both of these breads? I don't have any cows milk at home, and really don't want to have to run to the store. I just can't let DH see. He believes that things made with soy milk taste different. If only he knew how many times I have used soy instead. Hugs, Mindy , Katie <cozycate wrote: > > Yellow zucchini is zucchini. yellow squash is different.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Most yellow squash have little bumps on them, but some are very smooth. You really don't need to rely on the bumps to tell them apart though. The shape is the give away.
