About Yelllw squash
Yellow squash, a versatile summer vegetable, is celebrated for its mild flavor and vibrant color. Native to North America, it is a staple in many cuisines, especially Southern and Mediterranean dishes. Packed with essential nutrients, yellow squash offers a wealth of health benefits. It is low in calories and carbohydrates while being rich in vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin vitality. This squash is also a good source of potassium and fiber, promoting heart health and aiding digestion. Its antioxidants help fight free radicals, contributing to overall well-being. Yellow squash is commonly sautéed, roasted, or added to soups and casseroles. While generally healthy, preparing it with excessive oils, butter, or creamy sauces can diminish its nutritional benefits.
