Grey Zucchini is a beautiful pale mint green summer squash with grey speckles! Similar to its green zucchini counterparts, it has smooth, shiny skin and crisp tender flesh, but Grey Zucchini can vary in shades of gray-green, has a stockier shape, and a more rounded blossom end that makes it excellent for stuffing. Grey Zucchini is popular in many cultures around the world; it is often hollowed and stuffed with meat, rice, and spices in Middle Eastern Kousa or Greek Kohlokotes, grated into pancakes for Turkish Mucver or Lebanese Kibbeh, or stewed to make Moroccan Tagine or Indian Sabzi. The tender, flavorful flesh has a smooth texture and mild taste, making it a versatile ingredient in a wide range of dishes. Grey Zucchini is prized for its resilience to common garden pests and diseases, allowing it to thrive even in less-than-ideal conditions. Perfect for home gardeners looking to grow something a little different while enjoying a reliable harvest, Grey Zucchini promises to impress with both its beauty and its bounty.
