Description

Such a versatile vegetable! Classic, cylindrical, dark green zucchini are straight-to-slightly curved. The flesh is tender, creamy-white and freezes well. Vigorous and productive (and we mean productive) bush-type plants are studded with beautiful edible blossoms that can be stuffed/fried as a gourmet delicacy. A must in any kitchen garden.
