About Yellow squash
Yellow squash, a vibrant and versatile summer vegetable, belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family alongside zucchini and pumpkins. Native to North and Central America, it’s celebrated in various cuisines for its mild flavor and tender texture. Rich in essential nutrients, yellow squash provides vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, manganese, and dietary fiber, all critical for supporting immune health, vision, and digestion. Its low calorie content and high water content make it a favorite in weight management and heart-healthy diets. Yellow squash is also loaded with antioxidants that combat inflammation and promote overall wellness. It’s commonly sautéed, grilled, or added to soups and casseroles for an easy way to elevate meals. While generally healthy, cooking with excess oil or butter can overshadow its nutritional benefits, so moderate preparation methods are recommended. Enjoyed worldwide, yellow squash is a delicious, nutrient-packed addition to any plate.
