Patisson, also known as scallop squash or pattypan squash, is a small, disc-shaped summer squash with a unique scalloped edge. Originating from the Americas, it has been a staple in various cuisines, including French and Mediterranean. Patissons come in a variety of colors, typically white, yellow, or green, and have a mild, slightly nutty flavor. Nutritionally, patisson is low in calories and packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, and potassium. It's also a good source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting satiety. The squash contains antioxidants, which help protect against cell damage and support overall health. Patisson is very versatile and can be grilled, sautéed, stuffed, or roasted. However, it’s important to note that when prepared with excessive fats or heavy sauces, its calorie content can rise, potentially diminishing some of its health benefits.
