About Potimarron

Potimarron, also known as red kuri squash or Hokkaido pumpkin, is a nutrient-rich winter squash native to Japan. Its vibrant orange skin and sweet, chestnut-like flavor make it a popular ingredient in soups, purees, and baked dishes across European and Asian cuisines. High in beta-carotene, potimarron supports healthy vision, skin, and immune function. It's also a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium, which promote heart health and digestion. Low in calories and fat but rich in natural sugars, it provides lasting energy and satisfies cravings for sweetness. The entire squash, including its thin, edible skin, is packed with nutrients, making it easy to prepare and maximize its health benefits. However, people watching their carb intake should note its natural starch content. Potimarron is a versatile and wholesome ingredient for those seeking flavor and nutrition in one delightful package.
