                                Most commercially grown zucchini is perfectly safe to consume raw, though many mistakenly believe it must be cooked. The truth is, eating zucchini not cooked is a safe and simple way to enjoy its mild flavor, crunchy texture, and potent nutrients, provided you take a few simple precautions.
