( courgette , Zucchini , calabacín , zucchino )

Latin name
is Cucurbita pepo (a species which also includes other squash).
It can either be yellow or green and generally has a similar
shape to a ridged cucumber, though a few cultivars are available
that produce round or bottle-shaped vegetable. Unlike the
cucumber it is usually served cooked, often steamed or grilled.
Its flower can be eaten fried or stuffed. Culinarily, zucchini
is considered to be a vegetable. However, biologically, the
zucchini is a fruit, being the swollen ovary of the zucchini
flower. Zucchini are traditionally picked when very immature,
seldom over 8in/20cm in length. Mature zucchini can be as
much as three feet long, but are often fibrous and not appetizing
to eat.
Zucchini or Courgetteis one of the easiest vegetables
to cultivate in a temperate climate. As such, zucchini has
a reputation among home gardeners for overwhelming production,
and a common type of joke among home growers revolves around
creative ways of giving away unwanted zucchini to people who
already have been given more than they can use.
