Overview
Cocozelle zucchini is an old Italian striped type, grown on a bush plant that pumps out long, slim fruit marked with green stripes. Squash of this kind crossed the Atlantic more than once: seeds went to Europe with early mariners, were selected there for centuries, and came back with immigrants in new forms, which is how this striped cocozelle reached American gardens. For eating, pick fruit small, before it balloons into something unmanageable; for seed saving, let a few grow enormous. The flavor is excellent, whether simply sauteed or folded into a ratatouille.
