This is a typical courgette for Greek and Turkish cuisine! It is a Cousa type, meaning short, slightly thick fruits, harvest them young! The color is white with light green fine veins.

the plant. For consumption, harvest the fruits when young to very young. 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 an excellent base for soups. If the zucchini has grown rather large: Peel and deseed, then shave completely into ribbons using a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer, creating beautiful white strands of zucchini. 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 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...
