Courgette
White courgette
White courgette, also known as patisson courgette, is a variety of courgette with a delicate flavour and thin skin. It is rich in fibre, vitamins C and B9, antioxidants and minerals, making it a healthy and nutritious food. It can be cooked in a variety of ways: in ratatouille, au gratin, stuffed, in soup or in carpaccio. Its tender flesh and mild flavour make it a versatile ingredient in many recipes.
To grow white courgettes in the vegetable garden, we recommend sowing them directly in the ground after the last frosts, or planting them in pots to save a few weeks' growing time. It likes a sunny spot and rich, well-drained, slightly acid soil. It is also important to leave space between each plant (around 80 cm) to encourage growth. It is advisable to add compost or well-decomposed manure at planting time to nourish the plant.
