Details
A Polish twist on an old Mexican staple vegetable! Immature fruit is green, morphing to pretty yellow as it ripens and begins to split its protective husks. The fruit is firm, juicy and very sweet; perfect for jams, jellies and don’t forget the salsa! We also love these on the farm for fresh snacking and salads. Bred to thrive in the cooler summer conditions of inland Eastern Europe.
