Description

This is a variety that produces round green fruitsbest eaten when around the size of a cricket ball.

Flavour and texture is excellent and these are wonderful for roasting whole. Or, if picked very small, they can be dipped in a tempura batter and then deep fried.

If you do have the odd one that 'gets away' (and everyone does with courgettes) slice off the top, scoop out the flesh and mix it with cheese, minced meat or prawns, replace the top and bake in the oven - you will love it. Or try making a lasagne using long slices of courgette!

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
