I love zuchinni and think this recipe would be wonderful. However, I do have a question as to how healthy zuchinni can be when it is genetically modified? I know the FDA and most doctor’s say GMO’s are fine, however, I disagree with that. I would love some help, sorting this out. Thanks!
Hi! The only way to avoid GMO’s is to make sure you buy organic. You can find out more about GMOs in our article here: http://www.elevatedexistence.com/blog/2012/11/03/the-truth-about-gmos-in-your-food/
Thanks Tammy! I have ordered some organic zuchinni seeds along with the rest of my organic seeds and can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for your clarification.
