If you don't cut off the non blossom end of the zucchini you can cut down further and just throw away that end instead of cutting it off and throwing it out beforehand. If that makes any sense. I also cut off the noodles into decent lengths as I spiralize them so no need to go into the bowl and do it later.

I like the salt and pepper grinders you used in the zucchini recipe demonstration (which is very helpful because I always got watery zucchini before). What brand are the pepper/salt grinders please? Thank you for all your recipes. I have a favourite zucchini/shrimp recipe but I always ended up with too much water. Now, however, I am going to make sure I use your technique.

Hi Angie, Avoid freezing raw zoodles. You can freeze cooked ones, but they do come out more mushy and watery after thawing.

@WholesomeYum Жыл бұрын

Hi Dara, You can see in the video that they did not turn out watery at all. In my experience, adding salt afterwards makes them get watery very quickly before you even finish eating them. But if you have a method you like that works for you, great!
