Spaghetti squash, a nutrient-rich winter squash, is native to North and Central America and prized for its mild, nutty flavor and unique texture. When cooked, its flesh separates into spaghetti-like strands, making it a popular low-carb alternative to traditional pasta. Packed with vitamins A, C, and B6, as well as minerals like potassium and manganese, spaghetti squash supports immunity, heart health, and energy production. It’s also high in dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting fullness, while being naturally low in calories, fat, and carbohydrates. Often featured in American and Mediterranean-inspired dishes, it pairs well with sauces, herbs, and spices. While healthy, it lacks the protein of traditional pasta, so combining it with protein-rich foods enhances its nutritional profile. Its versatility and health benefits make it a go-to ingredient for various diets, including keto, paleo, and gluten-free lifestyles.
