"RONDE DE NICE" or "ROUND FROM NICE" in English.
A round heirloom squash with origins from the area of Nice, France on the French Riveira.
They are not really marketable due to having thin skin that unlike zucchini bruises easily when handled and shipped.
Found a six pack of them in my local nursery and gave them a place in my vegetable garden. Harvest is 50-55 days anywhere from golf ball (grille, sauté or steam) to baseball (for stuffing) in size.
Steamed my first pickings (for true unadulterated flavor) and all I can say is OMG! Super moist and delicate in taste and texture.
