I grow one very similar called Canestrino. Originally given to me by someone who got the seeds from his father who lives in Italy in the area were Canestrino is commonly gown.

When I first started growing it I looked on the internet for information and found a video on youtube all about Canestrino but in Italian which I don't understand unfortunately. Looked like it is picked green and perhaps eaten green as well. There is very little info on it and sadly the man who gave me the original plant is now very ill.
