Butternut squash has flesh the tone of deep orange and has over 400% of the daily recommended supply of Vitamin A. This versatile vegetable is delicious and hearty roasted in the oven and pureed into a soup. It is also rich in Vitamin C, fiber, and potassium.
Butternut squash is a nourishing alternative to regular white potatoes as a side for meat dishes.
