Cucurbita Pepo (Lebanese Zucchini)

Cucurbita Pepo (Lebanese Zucchini) is a productive summer vegetable prized for its tender, sweet fruit and attractive light green, lightly speckled skin. The club-shaped zucchini are best harvested young, around 10–15 cm long, when the flesh is tender and flavourful. Fast-growing and high-yielding, it is an excellent choice for fresh cooking, grilling, stuffing, steaming and stir-fries.

An easy-to-grow annual, Cucurbita Pepo (Lebanese Zucchini) performs best in full sun with rich, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. The plants have an open, productive growth habit that makes the fruit easy to spot and harvest. With its quick production, excellent flavour and versatile culinary uses, Lebanese Zucchini is a rewarding addition to home vegetable gardens.
