Grey zucchini are summer squash with greyish-green skin, light green flesh, and tiny edible seeds. They have a delicate flavour and can be eaten raw or cooked in a variety of ways. Shred zucchini for muffins, breads, and cakes, or grill and serve as a perfect summer side dish.'

Baby Grey Zucchini is a compact, early-producing summer squash that yields smooth, pale grey-green fruits with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Perfect for small gardens and containers, it’s tender when picked young and ideal for grilling, sautéing, or fresh dishes.

Baby Grey Zucchini is most commonly known as Mexican Grey Squash or Calabacita (specifically calabacita larga). It is a popular, pale green, and often speckled summer squash with a stocky shape, frequently used in Mexican cuisine. 

Here are the other common names and variations:

Calabacita/Calabacitas: The primary Spanish term for this small, tender summer squash.

Mexican Squash: Refers to its origin and common use in Mexican cooking.

Lebanese or Kousa Squash: Similar, pale-skinned, short squash commonly used in Middle Eastern cooking.

Grey Zucchini: Its standard English supermarket name, sometimes branded as Italian Grey Zucchini.

Tatume/Tatuma: A related, slightly more rounded, firm heirloom Mexican variety.

Magda: A popular F1 hybrid type of "cousa" or light green squash.

"Mexicana": A specific F1 variety name sometimes used by seed companies. 

Baby Grey Zucchini is prized for its firm, sweet, and nutty flesh, and is considered an excellent alternative to standard green zucchini, particularly for grilling or stuffing

Summer Squash - a broad term used to describe soft squash varieties such as zucchini and patty pan squash—is a warm-season crop that can be grown almost anywhere in full sun. Wait until any threat of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to about 70 F before planting, as these tender squash varieties are extremely sensitive to frost and light freezes. Perfect for containers, most summer squash grow on short, compact vines that don’t require trellising or staking, unlike the sprawling vines of most winter squash and pumpkins. Rather than growing baseball bat-sized zucchini—which can be bland, full of seeds, and woody—harvest squash when fruit is small and tender and your plants will keep producing right up to frost.
