INCI: Cucurbita Pepo Seed

Umuthi Baby Marrow Seeds (Cucurbita pepo) are a quick, warm-season crop that's easy to grow and generous in the kitchen. Plants produce tender, finger-length fruit with a mild, slightly sweet flavour and soft, buttery texture. Suits full sun, rich, well-drained soil and regular watering. A reliable choice for backyard gardens and small plots, with a steady harvest for sautéing, roasting, grilling or spiralising.

♡ Why we love it: Fast from seed to table and happy in most sunny beds. Pick young and often for the best texture and continuous cropping. Versatile in the kitchen, from simple pan-fries to braais and salads.
