Differances between Pumpkins and Zucchini -Squash
Zucchini and patty pan squash form part of the cucurbita (squash or edible gourd) genus. This family can be loosely divided into two groups – winter and summer squash. Winter types include pumpkins, and typically have hard seeds and skins. Summer squash, such as zucchini and patty pan squash, are picked immature, and are characterised by their soft, edible seeds and skin. Conquistadores brought squash to Spain, where they were first called calabaza (‘gourd’ in Arabic). The French named them courge d’Italie, which was later shortened to simply ‘courgette’.

- Degorging is a method of salting vegetables with a high water content, to draw out excess moisture. For zucchini, it is useful in recipes with pastry and/or eggs, to prevent sogginess.
- Zucchini and patty pan squash are 95 per cent water, low in calories and relatively high in vitamin C. They also contain valuable antioxidants.
