They look good however when I stuff squash flowers I never remove the stamens….does it make a difference?

What a beautiful photo of squash blossoms. I’ve never had them and I’m liking the idea of making them with goat cheese.

We grow zucchini & squash, yum! But would have never thought we could eat the blossoms. Can’t wait to try this recipe. Thank you for something new to try!

I LOVE fried zucchini blossoms and need to try your ‘stuffed’ recipe. lovely photos. if you ever have a minute in your busy schedule, please stop by and see my post about fried zucchini blossoms from last summer (photo on my sidebar). As a professional that you are, I’d love your opinion, since I’m a true home amateur cook in comparison. Grazie! Roz @ la bella vita

This is in response to the question about male vs female flowers. You can tell the male flowers because they just have a stem. Female flowers will have a little baby squash attached to the flower. Most people use male flowers because you don’t sacrifice a squash by picking a male flower. However, you can really impress your dinner companions by using female flowers since they do have that petite baby squash attached. It makes for a very impressive presentation. (And yes, the flavor is the same for male or female flowers.)

As for finding squash blossoms, you will probably only find them at a farmers’ market or in your garden. They really need to be used they day they are picked–or the next day at the very latest. You should pick the flowers early in the morning on the first day that they bloom. Don’t use flowers that are a few days old.

In reply to Heather.

Hi Heather,

How cool, did you just throw them in raw or sauté them first?
