description: Zucchini or courgette is a summer squash which can reach nearly a meter in length, but which is usually harvested at half that size or less. Along with certain other squashes and pumpkins, it belongs to the species <i>Cucurbita pepo</i>. (Wikipedia) Yellow zucchini, or golden zucchini, was developed by the W. Atlee Burpee Seed Company from a Fordhook Zucchini crossed with a Bicolored Gourd and released in 1973 (http://www.cooksinfo.com/burpee-golden-zucchini). It is said to have a distinctive flavour that is somewhat sweeter than green zucchini.
