About Zapallo redondo

Zapallo Redondo, known as round squash in English, is a versatile gourd widely used in South American cuisine, particularly in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a smooth, tender texture, making it ideal for roasting, soups, and stews. Packed with essential nutrients, Zapallo Redondo is a rich source of vitamins A and C, which support eye health and immunity. It also provides dietary fiber for digestive health and potassium for maintaining healthy blood pressure. Low in calories and naturally fat-free, this squash is a great choice for balanced meals. Its antioxidants contribute to reducing inflammation and promoting overall well-being. While generally healthy, some preparation methods, like frying or pairing it with heavy sauces, can add unhealthy fats or excess calories. Embracing traditional recipes that highlight its natural goodness is a nutritious way to enjoy this flavorful, nutrient-packed squash.
