About Summer squash
Summer squash is a versatile vegetable native to the Americas and widely used in global cuisines, especially in Mediterranean and Western dishes. Varieties include zucchini, yellow squash, and pattypan, each known for its tender flesh and mild flavor. Packed with nutrients, summer squash is low in calories but rich in vitamins A, C, and B6, along with manganese and potassium, all of which support immune health, skin vitality, and proper nerve function. Its high water and fiber content aids digestion while promoting hydration and satiety. Summer squash is naturally fat-free and contains negligible sodium, making it heart-healthy when prepared without heavy sauces or excessive salt. Whether grilled, sautéed, or added to soups, summer squash’s adaptability makes it an excellent addition to a balanced diet. Due to its delicate texture, it’s best enjoyed fresh and cooked lightly to retain its nutrients and subtle sweetness.
