Cucuzzi (Italian Edible Gourd) 10 Seeds | Italian Heirloom | Long Tender Fruits | Traditional Summer Vegetable
$9.99
Skip to product information
Grow a classic Italian garden favorite with Cucuzzi, an edible Italian gourd traditionally used in Southern Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. This vigorous vining plant produces long, pale green fruits that are best harvested young when they are tender, mild, and zucchini-like in flavor.
Cucuzzi can grow impressively long—often 2–3 feet or more—and performs best when trellised, which keeps fruits straight and clean. Young fruits are excellent in soups, sautés, stews, stuffed dishes, and traditional Italian recipes. If left to mature, fruits develop a harder rind and can be used decoratively.
You will receive:
✔️ 10 fresh, viable seeds
✔️ Open-pollinated, non-GMO
✔️ Carefully packaged for successful planting
