description for "Summer Squash: Cucurbita pepo 'Romanesco'"
Bred in Italy for traditional flavor and style, 'Romanesco' is prized for its creamy, sweet flesh. The tender, plump fruits are classically striped in dark green with slight ridges. 'Romanesco' offers improved disease resistance and early harvests. This is the most scrumptious zucchini we have found, with nutty-tasting flesh that is never watery or bland. Like all true Italian varieties, 'Romanesco's edible blossoms hold well on fruits to stuff or saute as a summer delicacy. For succulent texture and best flavor, pick zucchini when no more than 6 to 7 inches long. Frequent harvesting keeps plants producing tasty new fruits instead of maturing fat, tough, huge ones. - edited by dtd pbcouchman
