For optimal taste and texture, it’s crucial to harvest zucchini when they are at the right size. Ideally, zucchini should be picked when they reach 6 to 8 inches in length and have a firm texture. Overly mature zucchinis can taste bitter and have tougher skin, while smaller ones might lack flavor. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more fruits. Remember to use a sharp knife or garden shears to cleanly cut the zucchini from the stem, avoiding any damage.
