{"product_id":"black-beauty-zucchini","title":"Black Beauty Zucchini","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBlack Beauty is a classic heirloom zucchini variety that produces straight, cylindrical fruits typically 6-8 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter, with glossy, very dark green (almost black) skin and creamy white flesh that's tender and buttery when young. The flavor is mild, slightly nutty, and fresh with a subtle sweetness—excellent when harvested small to medium for the best texture and taste, avoiding the toughness and seediness that develops in oversized fruits. It's highly versatile in recipes: grate for zucchini bread or fritters, slice thin for raw salads or carpaccio, spiralize into noodles, grill or sauté as a side, stuff and bake, or use in ratatouille, stir-fries, and soups. This variety is a top choice for Utah because it's prolific, early-maturing, and reliable in our hot, dry summers with well-drained soil—many local growers and extensions highlight it as a high-yielding summer squash that thrives here when planted after frost risk passes. It's great for containers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt City Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Individual Plant","offer_id":44849177919597,"sku":"blkb-zuc-01","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-Pack","offer_id":44888673386605,"sku":"blkb-zuc-02","price":4.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-Pack","offer_id":44849177886829,"sku":"blkb-zuc-04","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/6774\/9997\/files\/BlackBeautyZucchini.jpg?v=1773704635","url":"https:\/\/saltcitygardens.com\/products\/black-beauty-zucchini","provider":"Salt City Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
