Friday Foodie Fix Zucchini Gluten Free Recipes

gluten free recipes Welcome back to our weekly event, Friday Foodie Fix.  This is where you link up your gluten free recipes each week that contain the Secret Ingredient!

You will also find each week there will be loads of information on that ingredient so even if you don’t have any recipes to share, you’ll gather some useful information.

Make sure you check back to see what recipes have been added.

This week’s secret ingredient is Zucchini.

Healthy Facts

With 100 degree temperature outside today, I will be serving zucchini.  This watery vegetable has a “cooling” and refreshing effect and acts as a diuretic helping to relieve water retention.  Make sure you eat them with their skins on.  Zucchini also supplies antioxidants and about half an adults recommended daily vitamin C intake can be eaten with a 4 oz portion (small zucchini).

How to Buy

I love to find the most locally grown zucchini I can.  The skin should be a nice deep green and without bumps and dips.  I prefer the smaller ones as I think they have more taste.  I find the larger they get they loose flavor.

How to Store

Keep the zucchini in the refrigerator until you are ready to use them.  They will last a good week if they are freshly picked.

Favorite Tip

Raw zucchini is great shredded into salads or tossed into your smoothie or juicer.
