I was attracted to this fruit because of the vibrant colour. As we are always told that we should eat food from a variety of colours so i bought it without hesitation. As the stall owner said this can be used to stir fry, so i added this Yellow zucchini to my original intended dish, Stir fried bean sprout with beancurd. The dish turn out to be very good! The zucchini actually taste almost like the normal zucchini, but i think it's sweeter. But than again, i had never eaten fried zucchini before, so it could be all fried zucchini are sweeter..
Wanted to know more about this fruit so i search on the net and i found out that these yellow zucchinis are also known as "Yellow Summer Squash". Both normal zucchini and yellow zucchini belongs to the same family which is the "Summer Squash" fruits. The name "summer squash" refers to the inability to store these squashes for long periods of time (until winter), unlike winter squashes (eg the butternut squash). They are best consumed within 3 days.

How to select? Just choose those that are small and firm and free of bruises or blemishes. The skin is edible too, so no need to removed.
