Kabocha, often called Japanese pumpkin, is a type of winter squash known for its sweet, nutty flavor and velvety texture. Originating from Japan, kabocha is a staple in East Asian cuisine, frequently used in soups, curries, tempura, and roasted dishes. Rich in nutrients, this squash is packed with beta-carotene, which supports eye health and boosts immunity, as well as vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. Despite its natural sweetness, kabocha is low in calories, making it a healthy choice for those seeking energy-balanced meals. The skin is edible when cooked and contains additional fiber, though some may prefer to peel it. Kabocha’s dense texture makes it incredibly satisfying, but its high natural sugar content means it should be enjoyed in moderation by those monitoring their carbohydrate intake. Versatile and nutrient-rich, kabocha is a delicious way to add flavor and health benefits to your plate.
