Originally from Central America, the yellow zucchini quickly became a favorite in European vegetable gardens thanks to its vibrant color and delicate flavor. This variety brightens flowerbeds with its brilliant yellow, bringing a cheerful touch and a mild taste that appeals to both cooks and gardeners who love diversity.

In the garden, it proves vigorous and generous, producing abundantly from the warmer months onwards. Its tender flesh is a welcome addition to summer dishes, while its spreading habit and broad leaves provide good ground cover, helping to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

  • Growing climate: Temperate to warm climate
  • Sowing difficulty level: Easy
  • Care required: Regular

Note: Sensitive to excessive humidity and fungal diseases in humid climates.

Widely used in summer cooking, yellow zucchini lends itself to many preparations: sautéed, grilled, stuffed, in ratatouille, or in soup. Its tender, sweet flesh pairs well with aromatic herbs. It can be kept fresh for a few days in the refrigerator or cooked soon after harvesting to preserve its freshness.
