Kabocha Squash

Kabocha Squash (also called kabocha or Japanese pumpkin) is a sweet, dense winter squash widely used in Japanese and other East Asian cuisines for soups, stews, tempura and roasted dishes. It is prized for its creamy texture, sweet chestnut-like flavor and firm skin that can be cooked with or without peeling. Nutrition-wise, Kabocha Squash is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense vegetable that supplies small amounts of protein and very little fat, while being a good source of provitamin A — it provides 426 in 100 g — mainly as beta-carotene. Its carbohydrate content gives a pleasant sweetness, and it contributes dietary fiber and vitamin C compared with many starchy sides. Overall, Kabocha Squash is a wholesome vegetable choice: nutrient-rich, low in saturated fat and versatile in cooking. It adds color and carotenoids to the diet and can be used as a lower-calorie, vitamin-rich substitute for heavier, higher-fat sides.Read more
