Costata Romanesco Zucchini - Seeds
Latin name: Curcubita pepo
The Costata Romanesco variety is an heirloom Italian zucchini. It produces green-grey zucchini with small, pale green spots. It has a nutty flavour with a delicate, creamy texture.
It's my favorite zucchini and unlike the Black Beauty remains very tender when picked later and larger. Delicious cooked however you like it and the flowers are edible too!
Excellent thinly sliced with goat cheese and prosciutto drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
