Is Zucchini And Squash The Same Thing?
While zucchini and squash are similar and belong to the same family, they are not the same thing. Zucchinis have a slightly sweet taste, green skin, and are typically smaller and cylindrical in shape, while squashes can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors and have a slightly nutty taste. Some types of squash even have a harder outer skin that needs to be peeled before cooking, unlike zucchinis.
