Zucchini: this is how you prepare the vegetables for cutting

• If you have planted the zucchini in your own garden or know where the vegetables come from, leave the bowl on them.
• The skin of the zucchini is very soft. If you want or need to peel the vegetables, a peeler is ideal for this.
• After washing the zucchini, first cut off the stem. Then try a small piece of the vegetables.
