About Onion squash

Onion squash, also known as Hokkaido squash or red kuri squash, is a small, teardrop-shaped winter squash with vibrant orange skin and a mild, nutty flavor. Originating from Japan, this squash is beloved in various cuisines for its versatility, adding depth to soups, curries, and roasted dishes. Nutritionally, onion squash is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin A, which supports eye health and immune function. It's also rich in vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, promoting heart health and aiding digestion. Its natural sweetness comes with minimal calories, making it a healthy choice for weight management. This squash is fat-free and cholesterol-free, offering nutrients without compromising a balanced diet. The edible skin saves prep time and provides extra fiber.
