f you're looking for
a colorful, delicious
alternative to white rice
and white pastas, try squash.
A 1-cup serving has just 80 calories, compared with
234 calories in a cup of spaghetti.
Named because it was traditionally harvested in autumn
and stored throughout the colder months, winter squash is
now available year round. Popular varieties include orange�
fleshed acorn squash; stringy spaghetti squash; bell-shaped
butternut squash; and the ubiquitous Halloween pumpkin.
Winter squash are fat-free and rich in vitamin C and beta
carotene (vitamin A). A cup of butternut has 457% of the
Daily Value for vitamin A and 52% for vitamin C (based on a
2,000-calorie diet).
Choose a firm, well-shaped squash that's heavy for its size.
Make sure it has a hard, tough skin � avoid squash with
sunken parts, moldy spots, cuts or punctures. If stored in a
cool, dry place, whole squash can keep for up to 6 months.
