I had a recipe call for soaking zucchini in cold water for ~20 minutes before cooking. It said that dirt can get caught in the pores of the zucchini and doing this cleans it out. I was confused because I've never heard of this before and also after soaking the zucchini there was no visible dirt in the water so it didn't seem to work that well.
The recipe book was a little old (from the 90's), so I'm wondering if this an outdated practice. Maybe the way they farm zucchinis has changed so soaking them isn't required anymore?
