Question

How can you tell the difference between zuchinne & squash /?

Answer 1

I have left you two links. The first one shows you a large picture of zucchini, the second one shows squash.

Some people use the word squash for everything that grows on a vine including pumpkin. Technically, these vegetables belong to the gourd family - they are all squash, but zucchini is an Italian name for small green squash. Big squash or pumpkin in Italian is zucca.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

The correct name in English for the zucchini is 'courgette', before the Americans bastardized THE language. In answer to your Q' a zucchini is a squash is a courgette. They are all one and the sodding same.!

Answer 3

Zuchinni is the only squash I know that is green and elongated like that..others are yellow, golden colored, green but round such as some acorn squash etcetera....They come in many shapes and colors and many varieties..but the long green ones are zuchinni

Answer 4

Zucchini is a summer squash meaning it will not keep in the winter like other squash such a butternut of acorn. I am wondering though if you are trying to determine what sort of plant is is before it has any fruit on it? If that is in fact the case a zucchini is upright, no trailing vines, where as other squash tend to have vines more like a pumpkin or a cucumber. Hope this helps. Oh by the way not all zucchinis are green there are yellow varieties although they are the same shape as the green variety.

Answer 5

Zucchini is "squash". No difference. Just a variety of "squash".
