Yellow Zucchini

A tier

Yellow zucchini covers golden-skinned straight or slightly tapered summer squash with pale flesh—milder looking on the plate than dark green, useful for colour contrast in mixed grills. Flavour is similar mild summer squash; some yellows are slightly sweeter. Includes named hybrids like Gold Rush class fruit. Grill beside green types for two-tone sides; sauté, spiralize, or raw ribbon. Harvest young—yellow skin shows bruises and age marks clearly.
