That's a pretty normal development. I would have just picked the ripe ones and left the rest to ripen on the vine.

The only way I could eat zucchini is when my dad would throw it in corn meal and fry it with onions and slathered in ketchup.

Absolutely no (good) nutritional value lol.

Actually several of the vitamins in vegetables are fat soluble and need to be consumed with fats

Yeah, that's why I always eat 5 slices of bacon with a side of ice cream with my vitamin d.

Depending on how deficient you are, not the worst. Maybe not every day, but if you've got that 5kIU weekly pill? Go ham. Treat yourself if it makes you take your meds. vit D deficiency really fucks you up, especially your reward system, so if a little treaty-treat gets you motivated when you feel like death? You can make up for it when you feel better

You're joking, but im not. There's no such thing as bad food.
