Overview
Black Zucchini, despite the name, bears fruit in a greenish-white shade rather than the near-black skin of Black Beauty. The flesh is firm with a small seed cavity, so slices hold together in the pan. The plants are open in habit, which makes fruit easy to find. Pick at 6 inches for the best texture.
