Irresistibly cute and so delicious, Poquito is THE zucchini you’ve got to try this year! This little charmer is ready to eat in just over a month, when the oblong, green-striped fruit is barely 3 inches long and filled with tender, succulent flesh. Steam it, slice it, skewer it, grill it — and what you don’t pick right away you can allow to keep growing, keeping you in continual harvest for weeks!

Poquito looks just like a tiny watermelon, weighing only a few ounces but packed with flavor and texture. Just wash it off and slice it, skin and all, for the most delicious kebabs you’ll ever taste. Chop it raw for salad, slice it lengthwise and pop it on the BBQ to acquire some grill marks and smoky flavor, or steam it for just a few minutes to bring out all the juicy goodness of the flavor. This is a zucchini you will always find a clever new way to present on the plate!

Best of all, you don’t have to harvest it all at once. Leave some on the plant to keep growing, and use them as you would other zukes. They’re especially good for stuffing when they mature, the striped skin adding a bit of extra plate appeal!

Poquito grows on spineless bush-habit plants, so it saves space and simplifies harvest. You don’t have to get out the elbow-length gloves to get near this plant! And that’s good, because once you taste this scrumptious zuke, you’re going to be out in the veggie garden every day searching for new Poquitos to put on the dinner table! Pkt is 15 seeds.
