Organic Butternut Squash

To peel or not to peel? That is the great squash question. The answer is you can do either. The skin of butternut squash is perfectly edible when roasted in the oven but you might not always appreciate its chewy texture.

Don't waste your squash seeds either, soaked and dehydrated roasted or toasted they make a nutritious snack or addition to a meal.

Reason to eat squash:

  • Squash is packed with beta carotene - a compound research has shown to help prevent the uncontrollable growth cycle that occurs in cancerous cells
  • Diets rich in lutein and zeaxanthin - both compounds found in squash - were found in a long term study to result in significantly less cataract formation.
  • Contains high levels of magnesium which helps to keep the right balance of 'good' to 'bad' cholesterol and reduce the risk of gallstone formation.
