Gem squash is a small, round vegetable native to southern Africa, prized for its sweet, nutty flavor and tender texture. Belonging to the same family as zucchini and pumpkin, its dark green skin and pale yellow flesh make it a versatile addition to various dishes, particularly in African and Mediterranean cuisines. This nutrient-rich squash is low in calories and high in dietary fiber, making it excellent for digestion and weight management. It’s also a good source of essential vitamins like vitamin C, vitamin A, and B-complex vitamins, as well as minerals like potassium and magnesium. These nutrients support immune function, eye health, and heart health. Its natural sugars are mild, and it contains virtually no unhealthy fats or cholesterol. Whether steamed, baked, or stuffed, gem squash is a wholesome option for balanced meals.
