Kaddu, commonly known as pumpkin or winter squash, is a versatile vegetable widely used in cuisines around the world. Native to North America, it is now a staple in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Western dishes. Rich in vitamins A, C, and E, along with minerals such as potassium and magnesium, Kaddu supports immune health, vision, and heart function. Its high dietary fiber content aids digestion while keeping you full longer, making it beneficial for weight management. Low in calories and fat, it’s ideal for those looking to maintain a healthy diet. However, dishes that heavily feature added sugars or fats, like pumpkin pies or candied preparations, may reduce its nutritional value. Kaddu can be steamed, baked, roasted, or mashed into soups and curries, offering a mild, sweet flavor that pairs well with savory spices.
