About Acorn squash
Acorn squash is a winter squash native to North and Central America, prized for its nutty flavor and versatility in cooking. This small, ridged squash is shaped like an acorn and boasts vibrant green skin often streaked with orange, with tender yellow-orange flesh inside. Nutritionally, acorn squash is rich in vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, supporting immune health, heart function, and digestion. It is also a source of B vitamins, including folate, which aids cell growth and repair. With its naturally sweet flavor, acorn squash is a staple in savory dishes, soups, and roasted recipes, particularly in American and Mexican cuisines. While low in fat and calories, preparation methods like heavy cream or butter may add indulgence without undermining its benefits. Simple seasoning and cooking techniques bring out its natural goodness, making it a wholesome choice for balanced meals.
