About Abobora cabotia

Abóbora Cabotiá, known as Kabocha squash, is a winter squash popular in Brazilian and Japanese cuisines. With its vibrant green rind and sweet, nutty orange flesh, it is a versatile vegetable used in soups, stews, roasted dishes, and purees. Dense in nutrients, it is rich in dietary fiber, supporting digestion, and packed with vitamins A and C, which bolster immune health and vision. It also contains potassium, essential for heart health, and antioxidants that combat cell damage. Despite its sweetness, it is low in calories and offers complex carbohydrates, making it a great choice for sustained energy. Its creamy texture allows it to replace higher-fat ingredients in recipes, making dishes lighter and wholesome. However, moderation is key for those monitoring carbohydrates. Abóbora Cabotiá’s natural richness and nutritional benefits make it a staple ingredient in hearty, health-focused meals.
