I too enjoy the blossoms. Goat cheese is a good stuffing as well. I hope you enjoy the bread. Lisa I wish I could answer that, perhaps Gene can lend some wisdom.

Any suggestions on why it does this and is it as nutritous as the green. We came across your bread recipe and cannot wait to try it. We also take the flower blossoms and stuff them with ricotta cheese, batter them and fry them. Thank you for the recipe!

From Wikipedia- "When used for food, zucchini are usually picked when the seeds are soft and immature, seldom over 8in/20cm in length. Mature zucchini can be as much as three feet long, but are often fibrous and not appetizing to eat. Zucchini with the flowers attached are a sign of a truly fresh and immature fruit, and are especially sought by many people." When zucchini are left to continue their growth the seeds and skin become hard like a winter squash. Rose Stockman This sounds to me like a very mature zucchini.

Zucchini-shaped, hard shell, weight is about right, deep green. Often a yellow spot where it touches the ground. At maturity, it will turn all the way to orange. Makes great pie. We have about a dozen plants sprawling way outside the garden right now, but it's pouring rain tonight so I'm not going to go out and snap a picture. Www.fedcoseeds.com, go to the seed catalog for more description/history. Or, it could just be a very strange zucchini! Russell Libby (forwarded from email to Lisa Barnes)
