Cooked butternut squash is a versatile and nutrient-rich food originating from the Americas, where it has been cultivated for centuries. This naturally sweet and vibrant orange vegetable is high in vitamins A and C, both of which support immune health and skin integrity. It also contains fiber, which aids digestion, and potassium, contributing to heart health and balanced blood pressure. Low in fat and calories, butternut squash is often used in soups, roasted dishes, and purees within global cuisines, including American and Mediterranean. Rich in antioxidants like beta-carotene, it promotes eye health and may help reduce inflammation. While packed with nutrition, preparation methods like cooking with excessive butter, cream, or sugar can add unhealthy fats and calories. Opting for basic roasting or steaming helps retain its health benefits without overloading on extras.
