Default Can I freeze Zukes?

Todd said:
Hi All,

I may be getting way ahead of myself -- black thumb and
all -- but if I happen to actually grow more zukes that
my wife and I can eat, can I chop them up, toss them in
a zip lock bag, and freeze them for the winter (when I
am relegated to frozen vegi's anyway)?


Only if you plan to add them to soups or stews. They will
pretty much be mush.

They can also be sliced thin to dry, in which case they can be
eaten like veggie chips. Or slicea little thicker and dry, and you
get something which will be a little toothier then frozen zukes
when soaked and cooked (or added to soups and stews).
