The last 2 zucchini we picked have small white dots all over the vegetable itself. Is it okay to eat? What is the cause?

Question

We have had a lot of rain here; not sure if that is the issue. However, the first 4 zucchinis were fine. Thanks for any help you can give.

Answer 1

This is normal for many varieties of zucchini. There is no cause for concern here. It is just like spots on a dog. Some are spotted, or striped, while some are black. There are many to choose from!
