I don’t know about you but as the weather is changing and getting cooler, I am loving the fall foods that warm the body and soul. My latest favorite with the Delicata Squash.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐒𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐬𝐡, a.k.a. ⁣

✅Winter squash, ⁣

✅Bohemian squash, or ⁣

✅Sweet Potato squash⁣

This oval squash with creamy colors yellow, green, white has so many nutritional benefits packed inside of it.

𝐈𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞:⁣

✅ it’s a good source of fiber + potassium ⁣

✅Provides small amounts of Vitamin B, C + magnesium. ⁣

✅Omega-6 fatty acid is a vital oil provided by the seeds inside the Delicata squash.⁣

⁣

This squash can be 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 by sautéing, steaming, or roasting.⁣ I have tried it all three ways, and I typically prefer to lightly sauté it in a pan with about one tablespoon of coconut oil. It adds an extra sweetness to it making it even more desirable to the palate.

⁣

Even though when you cook it, it is important to scoop out the middle and the seeds. But don’t go throwing away the seeds. Those have a little known benefit. All of the Omega-6 fatty acid is found inside the seeds! 🧡𝐅𝐔𝐍 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭: you can roast the seeds like pumpkin seeds. To preserve the vital oils in the seeds roast your seeds at a low temperature for a short time about 160 degrees for 15 minutes.

This is one of the yummy nutritious foods that we enjoy on the 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲 program!! ⁣You can add it to quinoa with pomegranate seeds and pistachios. It is a nutrient dense and deliciously tasty meal.
