Yellow courgette

What is Yellow courgette?

Yellow-skinned courgettes, similar to green courgettes with a mild, delicate flavour but a brighter colour. Supplied here by the case (colis).

Sliced or ribboned for salads and grills, sauteed and roasted as a side, added to ratatouille and stir-fries, or spiralised; their yellow colour brightens vegetable plates.

You're catching yellow courgette on the low end of the year. If it keeps on your line, it's a good week to commit volume.

Why the number moves

UK produce moves through the wholesale markets — New Covent Garden and the regional markets — fed by British growers in season and by Spanish, Dutch and other imports out of season. That's why a case rate on yellow courgette can shift week to week.

Across the year the trend has been up (down about 44% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the UK

British summer peak, roughly June to September outdoors; imported supply extends availability.

Per case or per kilo?

Produce is sold by the case, with a per-kilo rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.

The case suits volume kitchens; choose firm, glossy, small-to-medium courgettes, as oversized ones become watery and seedy, and use within a few days of chilled storage.
