Butternut squash

Butternut Squash is a member of the Curcurbita moschata family that also includes ponca, waltham, pumpkin, and calabaza.  This very useful winter squash is a starchier carbohydrate than the summer squash varieties but it still low in calorie; about 64 calories for 1 cup of squash cubes and only about 13 carbohydrates. The butternut squash has bright orange dense flesh and is very flavorful.  It particularly excels when it is roasted.  That said it makes an excellent addition to soups and casseroles and can even be made into a pie like it's cousin the pumpkin.Read more about Butternut Squash Article Uses, History, Recipes >>
