Product Description
*Heritage variety*
We Italians love eating courgette flowers (my father in law throws away the courgettes and eats only the flowers!) and they are still impossible to buy in the greengrocers especially because they must be picked first thing in the morning whilst open. This particular variety produces mainly male flowers on stalks and few fruits, so you will have numerous zucchini flowers for frying, Frittata Italian omelettes and for stuffing. Simply wash gently, hold the crown and twist and the crown and stamen will come away in your fingers leaving the meaty flower to use. Delicious.

Fantastic Flowers and Fruit!
We love courgette flowers even more than the courgettes. These seeds produce numerous male flowers perfect for stuffing with cheese and ham or dipping in batter for the ultimate aperitivo with a spritz. The fruits are delicious and plentiful. This is the only courgette I grow.
