Vegetable
Sunburst
S tier
Sunburst is a bright yellow hybrid pattypan with green blossom-end accents when young—cheerful colour and reliable production made it a modern market favourite. Flavour is mild and zucchini-like; texture stays fine if picked small. Excellent for sauté trays. Harvest baby size for restaurants; larger fruit still good stuffed. Colour sells at market stands. A benchmark yellow pattypan hybrid.
