Country of Origin: Malaysia

Yellow zucchini is a vibrant, tender summer squash with a mild, slightly sweet flavor and firm bite, perfect for adding color and freshness to everyday dishes.

Product overview:

• Yellow zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) is similar to green zucchini but stands out with its bright golden skin and sleek, straight shape

• It delivers the classic zucchini taste with a gentle sweetness, making it ideal for salads, stir-fries, grilling, and roasting

• This versatile squash suits home cooks, cafes, and restaurants looking to plate attractive, colourful vegetable sides and mains

Taste and texture:

• Yellow zucchini has a mild, slightly sweet, and delicate flavor with subtle grassy, fresh notes

• The flesh is pale, firm, and crisp when raw, then turns tender and almost creamy when cooked without becoming soggy

• Compared to yellow squash, it keeps a firmer texture and a cleaner zucchini taste, while offering a brighter colour on the plate

Key benefits:

• Naturally low in calories yet a source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, B vitamins, potassium, and other minerals that support everyday wellness

• Works well in lighter, health-focused menus such as grilled vegetables, zoodle pastas, and oven-baked dishes for weight-conscious customers

• Its bright yellow colour instantly lifts mixed vegetable platters, antipasti, and meal-prep boxes, making dishes look fresher and more premium

Usage ideas:

• Slice or dice for quick sautés, stir-fries, or Asian-inspired mixed vegetables

• Grill or roast with olive oil, herbs, and pepper for a sweet, nutty side that pairs with meat, seafood, or plant-based proteins

• Spiralize into low-carb “zoodles”, add to bakes, or layer into casseroles, lasagne, and ratatouille-style dishes

Storage and handling:

• Store unwashed yellow zucchini in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator crisper, loosely in a breathable bag to avoid excess moisture

• When stored properly, it stays fresh for around five to seven days, retaining its firm texture and bright colour

• Rinse gently and pat dry just before use, then trim the ends and cut as desired for your preferred cooking method
