Product Description
Courgettes (also known as zucchini), are beautifully refreshing. These are much sweeter than what you will usually find - try them raw to really notice the difference. You'll notice their smaller size and when cut they have very little interior sponge around the seeds as they have far less water content to the Dutch varieties more commonly found - the same reason they deep fry properly. Whenever you eat this Italian treat, enjoy their sweet, firm flesh in a huge variety of ways, from poaching, frying, stuffing and stewing...

Not good
Not sure what's wrong with them... They feel all dirty but it doesn't seem to come off after washing. They're also pretty skinny and sad looking

Gritty
The first time I cooked these I thought perhaps I hadn't washed them thoroughly enough as my fried leeks and courgettes has a gritty texture....so... next time I washed them and scrubbed well too. Unfortunately the grittiness remained and ruined the courgette frittata I made. Will stick to regular Waitrose courgettes in future.

Not great quality
These courgettes were disappointing. Slightly limp on arrival and when I went to use them a couple of days later, they were soft in patches. They were also some of the largest courgettes that I've seen! Won't be buying them again.

poor quality
The courgettes did not look in good condition when they were delivered. On closer inspection they were damp and bruised, They then went moldy within 24 hours. I will not buy them again.
Recipes
Courgette, Tarragon, Tomato and Reduced Fat Cheese Gratin
This is a great vegetarian dish and can be put together several hours in advance, or served as a vegetable accompaniment for roast chicken or grilled lamb chops.

Small, firm and tasty courgettes
I've bought these courgettes about six times now. It's fair to say that one batch did go bad quite quickly even though they had been stored in the fridge. But the other five batches were just as they should be - small, firm and tasty - not watery or fluffy like most supermarket courgettes.
