The zucchini Nicca is a mid-early variety of Italian selection, known for its unique spherical fruit shape with light ribs. Mature fruits reach a diameter of 25-30 centimeters and have a thin light-green skin with white speckles. The flesh is white, dense, and has an excellent taste; moreover, it does not become tough even after prolonged growth on the bush until autumn. The most delicate taste of the zucchini is achieved when the fruits are about 10 centimeters in size, which corresponds to the size of a tennis ball, before the skin darkens.
The plant is bushy, with corrugated leaves that protect the fruits from the scorching sun and help retain moisture in the soil. The fruits are relatively lightweight, up to 250 grams, which makes them convenient for various culinary applications. Zucchini Nicca is excellent for raw consumption, sliced, as well as for grilling, frying, stewing, and stuffing. Large fruits can be used to prepare useful soups, expanding its culinary possibilities.
The maturation period is approximately 95-110 days after sowing seeds, with the possibility of harvesting from July to October. For successful cultivation, it is recommended to prepare the plot by digging it up and fertilizing it with organic and mineral fertilizers, as well as ash. The best predecessors for planting are early vegetables, onions, root crops, tomatoes, and potatoes. Due to its taste qualities and versatility in preparation, zucchini Nicca is an excellent choice for gardeners and healthy eating enthusiasts.
