Hello dear Migros team,
I love courgettes in any form, but especially stuffed in my mom's style ;-) However, she has the privilege of taking her own courgettes from the garden, which are really big.
But Migros only sells these mini courgettes, which I think is a real shame. I would be extremely happy to have large ones (as big as 3-4 cucumbers together). Then I could finally make my favorite dish again.

Hello queen
Thanks for your suggestion! Actually, the small ones are tastier/more aromatic, but of course you're right, the large ones are more suitable for stuffed ones. I'll ask our product managers what the reason is that there are only small ones and whether something could be done about it.
Best regards,
Sabine, Migipedia team
The large courgettes are usually a lot less tasty than the smaller ones. That's why I harvest them myself in my garden when they are still relatively small (around 15 cm).
Queen: do you live near Basel? If so, you are welcome to have courgettes from me (as big as you like, yellow or green variety). At the moment I don't know where to put them... :-)
I have now bought bitter courgettes for the second time. Now it's over. The bitterness indicates a poison, see under Cucubitacin!

Hello et13
I'm very sorry to hear that you didn't like the courgettes you bought. I would like to pass this on for clarification, can you tell me when and in which store you bought them?
Thank you very much and best regards

Hello @etmaurer
It's me again. If you send me the requested information, I will be happy to clarify for you whether there were any special features in the delivery in question. Of course, our suppliers do not use any banned substances, but there are certainly other reasons that can lead to a change in taste.
Kind regards
Karin
Hello Karin
I used to buy the courgettes in packs of 3 at Migros Nussbaumen. I no longer have the pack. Why don't you Google what the poison is all about? I cut off both ends, so it can't be that.
Best regards

Zucchinis can contain the toxin cucurbitacin. (Source: Thinkstock by Getty-Images)
Light dishes with vegetables such as zucchinis are particularly popular in warm weather . But if the zucchini tastes bitter, caution is advised. It could contain the toxin cucurbitacin, which can lead to acute diarrhea or vomiting. You should be aware of this when preparing zucchinis.
