Courgette
Courgette is the vegetable from a herbaceous plant from the Cucurbitaceae family of the same name. This plant has a coarse appearance and its stems sprout large green serrated leaves, as well as yellow flowers that produce this vegetable.
From the courgette plant, not only the vegetable itself is consumed, but its flowers can also be eaten fried and they are an exquisite snack.
Courgettes are cylindrical in shape and their green colour varies depending on the variety. Courgettes that are planted in May or June have a lighter colour, while those that are planted in March have a darker colour.
