Seasonal squash, a versatile vegetable, has deep roots in global cuisine, particularly in Native American, Mediterranean, and Asian traditions. Available in summer and winter varieties, squash comes in a range of shapes, colors, and flavors. Nutritionally, it's a powerhouse: packed with vitamins A and C for immune support, fiber for digestion, and potassium for heart health. Summer squash, like zucchini, is lighter and ideal for easy grilling or sautéing, while winter varieties, such as butternut and acorn, offer richer flavors perfect for roasts and soups. Squash is naturally low in calories, sodium, and fat, but preparation matters—adding heavy creams or sugars can diminish its health benefits. Its seeds are also nutritious, rich in protein, magnesium, and zinc. Celebrated for its adaptability, seasonal squash stands out as a delicious way to boost nutrient intake and add color to your plate.
