Marrow is a large, mature vegetable, an over-grown zucchini. Its flesh is mild and subtly sweet, with a slightly watery texture. The skin is thick and firm, ranging in color from green to yellow or striped. Marrows are typically oblong in shape and can grow to be quite substantial, often weighing several pounds. Many people look for marrow for stuffing, roasting, and making chutneys. Due to its mild flavor, it readily absorbs the tastes of other ingredients.

Marrows are best stored in a cool, dark, and dry place, ideally in a pantry or cellar. They can also be refrigerated to extend their shelf life; wrap them loosely in a plastic bag to prevent moisture loss. Avoid storing near ethylene-producing fruits like bananas and apples, as this can cause them to ripen and spoil faster. Properly stored, marrows can last for several weeks.
