About Abobora
Abobora, commonly known as pumpkin or winter squash, is a nutrient-rich vegetable that originates from Central and South America. It is a staple in Brazilian cuisine, often used in soups, stews, and desserts. Abobora is low in calories and packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and E, as well as potassium, fiber, and antioxidants like beta-carotene, which supports healthy vision and boosts immunity. Its natural sweetness and creamy texture make it an excellent substitute for high-calorie ingredients in recipes. The seeds, often roasted, are rich in healthy fats, protein, and minerals such as zinc and magnesium. While abobora is generally considered a healthy food, consuming it in sugary desserts or dishes with added fats can reduce its nutritional benefits. Overall, abobora is a versatile and wholesome option for a balanced diet.
