About Red kuri squash

Red Kuri Squash, also known as Japanese squash or Hokkaido pumpkin, is a vibrant, teardrop-shaped winter squash with smooth red-orange skin and creamy, chestnut-like flesh. Native to Japan, it is widely used in Asian, European, and American cuisines, particularly in soups, purees, casseroles, and desserts. Rich in essential nutrients, Red Kuri Squash is packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, supporting healthy vision, immune function, and digestion. It is low in calories and naturally free of fat, making it an excellent choice for heart health and weight management. The squash’s antioxidants may also help combat inflammation and promote skin health. While highly nutritious, adding excessive butter, cream, or sugar to its preparation can diminish its health benefits. Enjoy it roasted, steamed, or blended for a wholesome, flavorful addition to any meal.
