The 'Di Nizza' spherical courgette (Cucurbita pepo var. giromontina) is a unique variety that produces spherical, ornamental fruit. These ball-shaped courgettes that slightly resemble miniature watermelons, have light green skins with a decorative pattern in the form of oblong, darker stripes and smaller cream spots. The flesh of the presented variety has a creamy texture and a wonderful, mild, and at the same time distinct flavour. Due to their original form the 'Di Nizza' courgettes are perfect for roasting stuffed. We also recommend to use the flesh to prepare puree or process it into a delicious spread for bread and toasts. The easily digestible, low-calorie and exceptionally tasty courgette constitutes a valuable component of the daily diet, especially for the elderly, people on diet and children. The fruit is rich in B vitamins, vitamins C and K. They also contain easily digestible minerals, including potassium, magnesium and iron.

Sow 'Di Nizza' courgette seeds starting in the middle of spring on warm and sunny sites. This reliably yielding cultivar produces the most abundant crops in fertile, humus-rich, moist and constantly moist soil in higher summer temperatures. It is easy to care for and it will pay you back for the good soil conditions with a healthy growth and continuous fruit bearing from August to the end of September. Courgettes taste best and have the softest texture when harvested before they are fully ripe, i.e. when they measure about 8 cm in diameter.
