About Kalabasa
Kalabasa, also known as Filipino squash or kabocha in other regions, is a nutrient-rich gourd widely used in Filipino and Southeast Asian cuisine. It has a sweet, nutty flavor and a creamy texture when cooked, making it a versatile ingredient in soups, stews, and stir-fries. Kalabasa is packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins A and C, which support healthy vision and immune function. It is also a good source of potassium, fiber, and manganese, promoting heart health and digestion. Low in calories and with a moderate glycemic index, kalabasa is suitable for various diets. Its natural sweetness is ideal for healthier culinary alternatives to sugary dishes. However, preparation methods like deep frying or adding high-fat toppings can reduce its nutritional benefits. Embraced for its balance of flavor and health benefits, kalabasa is a staple in nutritious and comforting meals.
