Product Description
All other squash are either 'summer' or 'winter' squash. This is the only variety that can be used as both! Harvest young at 45 days, when the oval green fruits can be used as zucchini. Or let them mature on the vine until the rind hardens and turns a golden yellow, and bake as winter squash. A hardy native of Mexico. This round zucchini, known as a "calabacita" in the Mexican tradition, has been a staple of Mexican cuisine for centuries. One popular use for this squash is a stewed "comfort food" dish consisting of corn, onions, cream, and the zucchini. Unlike other squashes, Tatume can be used either as a summer or a winter squash. For a summer squash, harvest it at a diameter of 4-6". For a winter squash, allow it to mature on the vine until it reaches its mature size and turns golden yellow.
