Zucchini Tondo di Piacenza - Round of Parma produces spherical, dark green glossy fruits with a firm texture and good flavor. The plants are large and very prolific. Round Zucchini is very popular in Italy as it is often cooked and stuffed with meat or aubergines and tomatoes.
This versatile, round fruited variety can be cropped at different sizes depending on your preferred recipe. Harvest them at golf ball size for eating whole when added raw to salads, or slightly larger for slicing into stir-fries. The larger, tennis ball-sized courgettes are ideal for stuffing.
