things people ask

• When would a recipe call for zucchini by the tablespoon?
  Single-serving cooking, mostly. A two-egg omelet might take 2–3 tablespoons of finely diced zucchini; a small batch of corn fritters could call for 4–6 tablespoons folded through the batter. Zucchini salsa and relish recipes also spec tablespoon-scale additions per serving when you're plating composed dishes rather than scaling up a jar.
• Does a tablespoon of diced zucchini weigh the same as shredded?
  Roughly, yes — both land near 8.5 g for a level tablespoon, because the cell structure compresses similarly whether you grate or fine-dice. Larger dice (¼-inch and up) won't pack into a tablespoon evenly, so you'll see more variance there. For batters and omelets, fine dice or shred is what the gram figure assumes.
• Should I salt zucchini if I'm only using a few tablespoons?
  Usually not. The water released from 2–4 tablespoons (17–34 g) won't wreck most batters or egg dishes, and salting adds a step for marginal payoff. The exception is something like a delicate crepe batter or a thin omelet where any extra liquid pools — there, blot the dice on a paper towel before folding it in.
