Black Beauty is a preserved cultural heritage from 1931. It is a fast-growing variety with incredible plant vigor that produces large, fabulous cylindrical fruits. The fruits are initially a lovely dark green and then darken to a blacker shade. The white flesh is of incredibly high quality and has a dark and appetizing flavor. The zucchini variety is perfect for stews or grilling but is also incredibly delicious fresh in salads. A big plus is that even the flowers are edible and are incredibly good to fry but also very decorative as a garnish.
Black Beauty is a fantastically versatile vegetable in cooking. Juicy zucchini patties with feta cheese and a little dill. Colorful squash noodles with crushed tomatoes, pecorino cheese, and walnuts. Or a panko-fried zucchini with a summery truffle mayonnaise is just a few of all the delicious dishes that this variety is excellent for.
