This squash’s outer skin is smooth and glossy with a deep forest green color and light green striations. The inner flesh is creamy white with light green hues and tiny, negligible seeds. Their flavor is similar in taste to the longer Italian zucchini, buttery and sweet with nutty accents that deepen with cooking. They generally range in size from one to four inches in diameter.

The Eight Ball squash is a summer squash variety botanically classified as part of Cucurbita pepo and a member of the Cucurbitaceae family. A round zucchini hybrid the Eight Ball squash was the first of three round summer squash varieties developed by seed company Hollar Seeds in the late 1990’s. Eight Ball squash are commonly mistaken with similar round varieties, the Rond de Nice and Roly Poly, but the specific Eight Ball variety is believed to be vastly superior in flavor.
