WHAT IS SUMMER SQUASH
When summer squash is harvested while still growing, the outer layer is soft and suitable for eating. These type of squash has soft, thin skin, while winter squash has a thick rind and is picked later in the season. Summer squash is available in a number of kinds, such as:
ZUCCHINI
Possibly the most popular type. It is usually dark green but also comes in yellow or striped. It can be used either uncooked or cooked in an array of cuisines and has a moderate flavor.
YELLOW SQUASH
This variety might have a straight neck or a crook neck, and its skin is often bright yellow. It tastes nutty with a hint of sweetness.
EIGHT BALL ZUCCHINI
A zucchini kind with a rounded form that’s perfect for stuffing.
PATTYPAN SQUASH
This type, also called scallop squash, has a unique shallow, spherical shape with scalloped edges. It may be green, yellow, or white.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF SQUASH
Because of its high nutritious content, squash — summer and winter types alike — offers a number of health advantages. It has a lot of vital minerals and vitamins, such as potassium, vitamins A, C, and B6, as well as antioxidants that strengthen the immune system, lower inflammation, and promote eye health.
Squash’s dietary fiber increases satiety, which aids with weight management and supports a healthy digestive system. Squash also helps to maintain good skin, bones, and heart health. It is a nutrient-dense complement to any diet due to its high water content and low calorie content.
