Savour nutrition-packed squash It’s one of the splendours of late fall: the range of colour, shape and size of local winter squashes. And whether you pick up buttercup, sugar pumpkin, acorn, carnival, delicata (also called sweet potato), butternut, hubbard, turban or sweet dumpling, they all have several things in common: Winter squashes are versatile in the kitchen, have great flavour and contain loads of nutrients.

To learn more about the benefits of the beta carotene, magnesium and potassium, among other vitamins and minerals, found in winter squashes—and some new ways to serve them—check out “Essential Squash” in Best Health’s November/December issue (on newsstands now). And try some of Our Best Healthy Squash Recipes.
