Featured Varieties
A light green, cylindrical, thin-skinned variety. When harvested young, the flesh is soft with few seeds; it is used in squash stews, fritters, and stuffed dishes, among many others.
Growing & Harvest
Summer squash is a warmth-loving, fast-growing crop grown in both open fields and under cover across Antalya and Mersin. Its non-vining, semi-bushy growth habit allows for evenly spaced row planting and multiple harvests from a single plant. Fruit is picked young, while the skin is still thin and the fruit has not fully matured; this early harvest benefits both flavor and shelf life.
Uses & Applications
Summer squash is a versatile vegetable used across Turkish home cooking, in both main dishes and mezze; it is a core ingredient in squash stews, fritters, stuffed dishes, and oven-roasted vegetable mixes. Its thin skin can be eaten without peeling, which simplifies preparation. Fruit with thin skin, a glossy surface, and firm texture is preferred for fresh consumption, and storing it in cool, humid conditions after harvest helps preserve freshness.
