About Squash blossoms
Squash blossoms are the delicate, edible flowers of squash plants, commonly found in Mexican, Italian, and Indian cuisines. These vibrant orange or yellow flowers have a mild, slightly sweet flavor, and are often stuffed, fried, or used as a garnish in savory dishes. Nutritionally, squash blossoms are low in calories but offer vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin vitality. They also provide a modest amount of fiber and antioxidants, contributing to digestive health and combating free radicals. However, their nutrient content is relatively light due to their ethereal nature. Cooking methods like frying may add fat and calories, so steaming or incorporating them into salads and soups can offer a healthier alternative. Whether enjoyed fresh or cooked, squash blossoms are a versatile and visually appealing ingredient that adds a touch of elegance and subtle flavor to a variety of dishes.
