It is kind of looks like a cucumber but it isn't the same inside. Indeed all squash, gourds, and melons are members of the same botanical family as cucumbers, Cucurbitaceae. All belong to the type of fruit called peppo. A peppo is a berry with a thick skin outside, fleshy interior. Isn't it remarkable that the cucumber and cantelope are in the same botanical family?

Zucchini are a type of summer squash - the skin is not as thick nor the flesh as dry and sugary as winter squash, so they do not keep well.
