Courgette

Product description Courgette

Courgette, Cucurbita pepo L., is cultivated in open fields and in controlled environments to ensure consistent quality and uniform growth. The plants develop straight, slender and cylindrical fruits that are harvested at an optimal size to maintain tenderness and flavour.

The exterior is typically deep green, smooth and glossy, although yellow varieties are also grown. The skin is thin and delicate, while the flesh is firm, compact and non spongy, ranging from white to light green. The courgette has a high moisture content and contains small, underdeveloped seeds. Its flavour is mild, slightly sweet and subtly nutty, making it versatile across culinary applications.
