Kiepenkerl Courgette Custard White

The Custard White courgette from the Profi-Line range is exceptional due to its unusual shape, which immediately catches the eye. This special variety offers an attractive appearance, excellent taste and tender flesh. It can be used for all classic courgette recipes, just like green courgettes. The 'Custard' fruits have the shape of small, white plates, which has earned them nicknames such as "UFO" or "flying saucers". Harvesting is possible from July and the courgettes taste best when they reach a diameter of 12 cm. The harvest of these tasty courgettes continues until the first frosts.
