Zucchini – Grey Lebanese (Heirloom)
(Cucurbita pepo)
Zucchini ‘Grey Lebanese’ is a traditional heirloom variety prized for its distinctive mottled grey‑green skin, compact growth, and tender, mild flavour. This garden favourite produces short, slightly stocky fruits with smooth, thin skin and crisp, juicy flesh that can be enjoyed raw or cooked.
Highly productive and easy to grow, Grey Lebanese zucchini forms a bushy plant that yields abundantly throughout the warm season. The fruits are best harvested young for their sweetest flavour and most delicate texture, making them ideal for grilling, stuffing, sautéing, or adding to fresh salads.
Widely used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. Especially those yummy stuffed dishes. Reliable, fast‑growing, and full of flavour.
