Question: what is the difference between zucchini and zucchini squash?
Answer: In the US and Canada, we refer to most cucurbita pepo as “squash,” which I believe comes from a Native American word. They are the same thing. Zucchini is the Italian word for the fruit which the French call a courgette. ... So all Zucchini are squash but not all squash are zucchinis.
