Yellow Courgettes: A Vibrant and Flavourful Addition!

These unique vegetables are known for their vibrant yellow hue and sweet, mild taste. Unlike their green counterparts, yellow courgettes are less watery, which results in a firmer texture that holds up well in various cooking methods. Their thinner skin means there's no need to peel them, making them convenient and quick to prepare. When spiralised into courgette spaghetti, they offer a beautiful and nutritious alternative to traditional pasta, perfect for those looking to add more vegetables to their diet. Their sweet flavour and pleasing texture make yellow courgettes an ideal ingredient for summer salads, stir-fries and more.
