Ball squashes vary in size from small to large in diameter and have a globular to an oval shape, capped with a rough, green stem. The skin is smooth, glossy, thin, sometimes exhibiting faint vertical ridges and dark green color. Underneath the surface, the flesh is white, tinged with a pale green to yellow hues, and has a crisp, spongy, and tender consistency. Within the flesh, there are also many small, edible seeds. Eight Ball squashes have a mildly sweet, vegetal flavor with subtle nutty undertones.
Their shapes make them perfect for stuffing. You can fill them with rice or couscous, and meat, tomatoes, and herbs.
The best way to store zucchini is in the refrigerator's crisper drawer where humidity is kept to a minimum.
