Zucchini, shredded substitutes

Tested swaps for shredded zucchini, with ratios and sources.

Equal shredded yellow summer squash (1:1, baking and sautés) (Tasting Table)
Nearly identical moisture and texture. Salt, rest, and squeeze out liquid before adding to batters — same as zucchini.
Equal shredded carrot (quick breads, muffins) — hand-grate, do not use pre-shredded (Tasting Table)
Carrots are ~88% water and add similar moisture, but contribute color and sweetness.
