Smart
tips

To peel or not to peel?

Short on time and don’t feel like peeling your courgette? No problem—you can eat the skin too.

Courgette pasta

You can use courgette as a pasta substitute by cutting it into thin strips.

Overripe courgette

If your courgette has become too ripe, you can still use it by scooping out the seeds and adding the courgette to soups or stews, where texture matters less.

Growing Method

BelOrta courgettes are grown both in open fields and in greenhouses on substrate or soil. Open-field cultivation gives a firm texture and pure flavour. Greenhouse courgettes grown on substrate develop under optimal conditions, ensuring consistent quality. Greenhouse cultivation in soil combines the best of both worlds, with natural growth and protection from the weather.
