About Steamed squash

Steamed squash is a simple and nutritious dish that showcases the natural flavor and texture of this versatile vegetable. Commonly prepared using varieties such as zucchini, yellow squash, or butternut squash, this dish is a staple in cuisines around the world, particularly in American, Mediterranean, and East Asian cooking. Squash is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber, promoting eye health, immune support, and digestion. The steaming method helps retain its nutrients without adding extra fats or oils, making it a healthy choice for any meal. Naturally low in calories and carbohydrates, steamed squash is ideal for weight management and heart-healthy diets. Its subtle sweetness and tender texture pair well with herbs, spices, or a drizzle of olive oil. While delicious on its own, be mindful of added toppings like butter or cheese, which can increase calorie and fat content.
