‘Custard White’

Patty-pan squash are flattened, saucer-shaped courgettes. This old French heirloom produces white fruit, which are cut when young (about 3 inches across) and cooked or fried just like a courgette. The flavour is a little richer and more substantial than courgettes, with a slight ‘nutty’ taste. Very popular each year, they can be quite prolific indeed in a good summer.

Saucer-shaped white courgette! Pick when small. Grown for The Seed Cooperative by Tara Morris on her organic farm.
