About Squash acorn

Acorn squash is a nutrient-dense winter squash that originated in the Americas and is celebrated for its mild, slightly nutty flavor. This versatile vegetable features dark green skin with orange or yellow accents and a sweet, golden-orange flesh. Rich in vitamins and minerals, acorn squash is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, promoting healthy digestion and boosting the immune system. It is also low in calories and fat, making it a nutritious option for weight management. Acorn squash is a staple in many North American and seasonal autumn recipes, often roasted, mashed, or stuffed. While its natural sugars lend a sweet flavor, be mindful of added sugars or butter in some preparations. Overall, acorn squash is a wholesome and delicious addition to a balanced diet.
