The Lebanese zucchini (Koussa or “Koosa” in Arabic) is popular in Mediterranean & Middle-Eastern dishes. The immature fruit (being the swollen ovary of the female zucchini flower) is harvested when it reaches about 15cm in length. Middle-Eastern types are stocky, pale green, tapering ends with a thick dark green stem and have a similar shape to a ridged cucumber. They have smooth shiny skin and solid, crispy and flavourful flesh.
