Courgette 'Royal Flush' F1

Product number: 075225
Origin: North America
Latin: Cucurbita pepo

A mini-zucchini is, of course, nothing more than an early-harvested zucchini. Nevertheless, this variety is a nice addition, because the plant remains extra compact and is therefore extra suitable for growing in pots or smaller spaces. The motto remains: harvest fruits young for the true "mini-experience", frequent harvesting stimulates further fruit set.

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

(Too) large harvest? Bake a quantity of sliced courgettes, onions, and garlic. Then purée and freeze. After thawing, this forms a good base for soups when combined with broth. If the courgette is too big: Peel and deseed, then completely peel into ribbons with a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer, creating 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 courgette. For every 15 cm of courgette 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…
