Courgette 'Costata Romanesco' / 'Lungo Fiorentino' 10 Seeds

Product number: 074940
Origin: Central America
Latin: Cucurbita pepo

The special feature of this old Italian variety is the striking protruding ribs that run along the entire length of the fruit. This creates a nice cutting effect. During post-ripening, a play of colors emerges, with green and orange-yellow stripes.

Zucchinis can be grown outdoors without any problems. This variety does not trail; the fruits grow from the center of
the plant. Harvest the fruits young to very young for consumption. For ornamental purposes, let them grow larger, then they can be stored.

(Too) big a harvest? Fry a quantity of sliced zucchini, onions, and garlic. Then blend and freeze. After thawing, this, together with broth, forms a good base for soups. If the zucchini has grown rather large: Peel and deseed, then shave completely with a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer to create zucchini ribbons, beautiful white strands. Sprinkle with salt and let drain. Then mix well with two generous tablespoons of chopped chives, the same amount of burnet leaves, and the same amount of mayonnaise. This makes a delicious salad for approximately 4 to 8 people, depending on the size of the zucchini. Per 15 cm length of zucchini and a circumference of 25 cm, this is enough for 1 to 2 people, depending on whether it's a main course or a side dish...
