About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

A round courgette from the area around Nice, best harvested at apple size, 8 to 10 cm across. At that size it hollows out and stuffs beautifully; stuffed round courgettes are its showpiece. The plant grows vigorously and bushily and crops over a long period. Tondo di Nizza is an open-pollinated old variety, so you can save your own seed from it as long as no other squash species is flowering within reach.

Tender, mild flesh with a thin skin; harvested young it tastes delicate and nutty, ideal for stuffing and baking.
