Black Beauty Zucchini History
The Black Beauty zucchini plant was introduced in 1957 as one of the earliest and most productive of the darker skinned zucchinis. The fruit has deep blackish green skin, firm and straight fruits – which are at their peak when less than 6 inches tall. However, we know what really happens when somehow one or two hide among the leaves until one day you discover a monster of a fruit. And I mean monster. I have pulled out zucchini that are as long as my calf and about as big around. If they occur, I count it my duty to make several batches of chocolate chip zucchini bread. Yum! There are several categories of summer squash. Black beauty belongs to the zucchinis, which gets its name from the Italian “zucca,” their name for squash.
