Why is the top of the zucchini bread flat?
The top of zucchini bread is typically flat due to the moisture content from the zucchini, which can prevent it from rising significantly. Additionally, the batter's density and the absence of strong leavening agents contribute to a more level surface as it bakes. When the bread cooks, it tends to spread out rather than rise dramatically, resulting in a flat top. Proper mixing and baking techniques can also influence the final shape of the bread.

Can you use a water bath for canning zucchini?
While the traditional teaching is no, all canning with perhaps the canning of meat products can be done in a water bath canner. It is important that you maintain the highest possible temperature for fifteen to twenty minutes. It may be necessary to keep extra water boiling to keep the canner water level high enough though.
Since zucchini is a low acid food the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) does not recommend canning zucchini in either a hot water bath or a pressure bath. Not only is zucchini a low acid food but when prepared for canning (cooked) it compresses down quite a bit and becomes dense. There is not adequate approved research that documents the amount of time necessary to process zucchini in either the hot water bath or pressure bath method. Personally, I would freeze it. The NCHFP has a terrific website for all methods of canning and preserving (including freezing and drying) fruits, vegetables, and meats.

Yes a zucchini does have seeds. If you let a zucchini grow large there will be seeds in it. So technically a zucchini is a fruit. A fruit is the part of the plant that has the seeds.
When used for food, zucchini (courgette) are usually picked when the seeds are still soft and immature. Mature zucchini grow to be as large as a baseball bat and are fibrous inside with developed seeds. The seeds are a similar size and appearance to other squash and pumpkin seeds.
A zucchini with the flowers attached is a sign of a truly fresh and immature fruit, and it is especially sought after for its sweeter flavour.
Zucchini, like all squash, were developed from squashes that originally came from the Americas. The "zucchini" was developed in Italy hence its Italian name. In France it is called courgette and is this name used in other countries including the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, the Netherlands and South Africa.
A zucchini is the fruit of a vegetable plant and by definition has seeds in it. So do the fruit of all squash varieties and other vegetables and plants. That is they way most plants normally propagate. The exception to this is fruits that have been developed by artificial selection to be 'seedless'. Seedless fruits and vegetables (such as watermelon (a member of the squash family) have much less seeds than normal and/or there may under developed seeds. Sometime there no seeds at all. The seedless plants are propagated by other means such as cuttings.
