This beautiful Portuguese variety is the smaller brother of the 'Abóbora Porqueira' and has extra elegant and heavy, upright ribs. Usually you harvest them when the fruits turn deep green, after harvesting the ribs turn bright yellow. The riper, the more flavour, harvested very young you can eat them like zucchini! The plants trail and produce fruits of 2-3 kg.
