About Steamed yellow squash
Steamed yellow squash is a tender, lightly flavored vegetable often used in American, Mediterranean, and Southern cuisines. Native to North America, yellow squash is a variety of summer squash that boasts a vibrant golden hue and a mild, slightly sweet taste. When steamed, its natural flavors shine without added fats or oils, making it a healthy choice for meal preparation. Yellow squash is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, potassium, and antioxidants, supporting immune health, digestion, and maintaining healthy skin. It is also low in calories and contains virtually no cholesterol, making it ideal for weight management and heart-healthy diets. However, some recipes may include high-fat added toppings, which can increase calorie content. Versatile and nutrient-dense, steamed yellow squash can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into salads, soups, and side dishes for a wholesome, balanced addition to your plate.
