This week on the nutrition education series we featured zucchini. We all love zucchini bread, but who wants to heat the house up baking in the summer? This week on the blog we talk you through how to grill and ribbon zucchini for savory summer treats. Follow the link to learn how to make Savory Zucchini Ribbons or stop by the market information table to pick up a paper copy. We will have a nutritionist available at the market information table to answer any and all questions about preparation, storage and nutrition. A great resource if you're looking eat more veggies this season!
