About Crookneck squash
Crookneck squash, a summer squash native to North America, is known for its distinctive curved neck and vibrant yellow skin. This versatile vegetable boasts a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a tender texture, making it a popular ingredient in a variety of dishes, from casseroles to stir-fries. Packed with nutrients, crookneck squash is low in calories and rich in vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin vitality. It's also a good source of fiber, promoting healthy digestion, and contains potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure. Antioxidants in the squash contribute to combating oxidative stress in the body. While it’s generally a healthful choice, some preparations—like frying—can add extra calories and fat, so opt for steaming, grilling, or roasting to maximize its nutritional benefits. This vibrant vegetable is a staple in Southern U.S. cuisine but is enjoyed globally for its flavor and health properties.
