Squash

Squash is a nutritious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed all year round. From summer's zucchini to autumn's pumpkin, there's so many options.

Squash is a nutritional powerhouse and tastes delicious. Squash is a great source of vitamins A and C, beta carotene (which your body converts into vitamin A), potassium, and fiber.

There are two main categories of squash: summer squash and winter squash. There are also several varieties of squash you may have seen or tried. Winter squashes include pumpkins, butternut, spaghetti, and acorn squashes, while summer squashes include zucchini and yellow squash.

Squash is also very versatile! You can roast, grill, or sauté it. You can add it to soups, stews, and baked goods as well. Below are a few ideas to add squash to your menu:

• Spaghetti squash noodles are a fun and tasty way to switch up your pasta routine. Make them as a healthy substitute for your favorite pasta dish or even use it as an alternative to spaghetti noodles!

• Add roasted butternut squash to salads.

• Have a slice of zucchini bread or pumpkin bread for breakfast.
