Zucchini Atena Polka (Cucurbita pepo) - an early variety, distinguished by its extraordinary fertility, which is due to the partial parthenocarpy. An annual plant with a bushy habit, it forms dense clumps of large, green leaves. It produces a large number of oblong, club-shaped fruits. This variety is valued for the unusual color of the fruit, which has a vivid yellow-orange color. Young zucchini fruits have a much higher nutritional value and are much tastier than the older ones. It is best to collect the ones that are about 20 cm long, then they are the tastiest and contain large amounts of vitamins, macro- and microelements. They are perfect for preparing colorful dishes and for preserving.
