Latino best garden squash
Reviewed By: Chris (Riverton, UT)
The Latino squash is far superior to a zucchini because they can still be enjoyed at a larger size. We slice them up as steaks and can even freeze the steak slices. Very prolific plant.

Like any zuchinni, these grow fast and if you don't pick the fruit while it is still small, they will change shape to a gourd like shape rather than a cylander. They are excellent for making zuchinni bread, the texture was perfect and they freeze well.

Great squash - much better than zucchini. Has a wonderful buttery flavor. Plants do get pretty big but will produce many fruits!
