The babies, picked no larger than your small finger, are perfect lightly steamed, chilled and added to a salad or antipasto. This is a wonderful 'all-round' versatile gourmet quality zucchini. Globe-shaped and with pale green delicate skin, it is an aesthetic as well as culinary delight. Its greenish-white flesh will hold its flavor. Scallopini is a winner of the All America Selections for its high yield and rich creamy, nutlike taste.
Scallopinis are easy to harvest, because they are compact with an open habit.
This is the Mexican Heirloom summer squash used throughout Mexico and in parts of Texas.
