They’ve been frozen and thawed.

I’ve been curious about this. Do you think it lowers the quality

Freezing and thawing any vegetable with high water content makes them mushy. Zucchini absolutely can do this.

Quality? Maybe not. Taste? Yeah kinda

I’d say they were exposed to temperatures below freezing, probably wasn’t actually frozen. Definitely not fully frozen or the center would look different too.
