Trivia | For those who love the garden at home: every zucchini plant (or pumpkin plant) produces both female and male flowers. They are both safe to eat, but completely different. Female flower: stuck to its ovary (zucchini or pumpkin), with an enlarged free-pollen pistil. Male flower: stuck to its stem, with its warp covered with pollen. In other words, zucchini flowers are obtained from male flowers, while the simple zucchini are obtained from female flowers. |
