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.

When food is pickled for human consumption as much water as possible is removed from the food What method is used to achieve this dehydrating effect?

Oodles of salt! Try it for yourself: grate or slice a cucumber or courgette, place in a colander which you place inside a bowl or deep plate. Watch and be amazed how much water comes out! Incidentally, this will crisp up your cucumber and it will remove the bitterness from your courgette. So, back to pickling, salt is used and often vinegar as well.
