About Cooked yellow squash
Cooked yellow squash is a versatile and nutrient-rich vegetable commonly used in cuisines around the world, particularly in Southern, American, and Mediterranean dishes. Native to the Americas, this vibrant squash has a mild flavor and tender texture when cooked, making it a staple ingredient in sautés, casseroles, soups, and stir-fries. Yellow squash is low in calories, rich in vitamin C, and provides essential nutrients like potassium, folate, and fiber, which support heart health, digestion, and immune function. It also contains antioxidants, including beta-carotene, which may promote healthy skin and vision. While naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol, preparation methods such as frying or adding heavy sauces can increase calorie and fat content. For a healthier option, consider steaming, roasting, or lightly sautéing. Packed with plant-based goodness, cooked yellow squash is an easy way to enhance your meals with flavor and nutrition.
