Courgette 'Green Diversity'

Product number: 075120
Origin: North America
Latin: Cucurbita pepo

Playful mixture of many green shades, from very light green to almost black... The taste of each fruit varies and is always fresh and juicy! The plants are bush varieties and can also be easily trained into a "courgette-on-a-stem": you place a sturdy stake next to the plant, tie it up and consistently remove the lowest leaf with a sharp knife.

Courgettes can be grown outdoors without any problems. This variety is a bush type; 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) large a harvest? Sauté a quantity of chopped zucchini, onions, and garlic. Then purée and freeze. After thawing, this, together with broth, forms a good base for soups. If the zucchini is a bit too large: Peel and deseed, then shave completely with a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer, creating ribbons of zucchini, 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. Here you have a delicious salad for approximately 4 to 8 people, depending on the zucchini. Per 15 cm of zucchini length and a circumference of 25 cm, it's enough for 1 to 2 people, depending on whether it's a main course or a side dish…
