tips
Clean gently
The courgette plant’s flowers are fragile, so don’t rinse them under the tap; instead, gently pat them clean with a damp paper towel.
Prepare
Remove the stamen (at the centre of the courgette flower) before preparing them.
Eat it raw.
Try eating courgette flowers raw in salads or as a healthy snack. Their crunchy texture and mild flavour make them a delicious addition to your meal.
