About Patty pan squash

Patty pan squash, often called “scallop squash,” is a vibrant summer vegetable known for its small, round, scalloped shape and mild flavor. Originating from the Americas, it features prominently in cuisines worldwide, prized for its versatility in sautés, grills, and casseroles. A nutritional powerhouse, patty pan squash is low in calories and fat, rich in dietary fiber, and packed with vitamins A, C, and B6, supporting immunity, skin health, and energy. It also contains minerals like potassium and manganese, essential for nerve function and bone strength. With its high water content, it aids hydration and digestion, making it a great choice for light, healthy meals. Free from cholesterol and saturated fats, it’s ideal for heart-healthy eating plans. However, recipes involving heavy creams or oils can reduce its health benefits, so lighter preparations are best to maximize its natural goodness.
