Round Zucchini Squash seeds
Round Zucchini is an older heirloom variety of zucchini that grows on a bush-type vine, making it compact and well suited for small and larger gardens alike. Round Zucchini shares the same flavor as the market variety of zucchini but its shape makes it a better option for roasting and stuffing than its cylindrical cousin. Fill Round Zucchini with couscous, textured vegetable protein (TVP), seasoned ground meat, savory wild rice, and much much more.
These can also be steamed and hollowed out and used as a small serving bowl for soups and stews. At full maturity, these can reach the size of a grapefruit, so the stuffing possibilities are endless! After the bees have finished their morning pollinating, you can also cut and save the male flowers and use them in soups, or dipped into a curried flour batter and deep-fried, exquisite!
