Tenerumi Greens, the tender leaves of the long Sicilian zucchini plant, are a seasonal delicacy teeming with fresh flavor. The leaves are delicate and soft with a vibrant green hue, showcasing a mildly sweet and vegetal taste akin to a blend of spinach and squash blossoms. These greens are traditionally used in Sicilian cuisine, most notably to prepare the classic summer soup, 'Macco di tenerumi,' which highlights their gentle, slightly nutty flavor when simmered. They are also versatile in the kitchen, excellent for sautéing with garlic as a nutritious side dish, as a unique addition to risottos or quiches, or simply steamed to preserve their subtleties. Tenerumi Greens provide a source of vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, and are high in dietary fiber, making them a healthful choice that captures the essence of Sicilian summer in every bite.
