Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squash is another winter squash (see my previous post on pumpkins) that is high in beta-carotene (which the body converts to vitamin A), with other key nutrients including calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, several of the B vitamins and many more. It doesn't require refrigeration and is relatively easy on the grocery budget. It's mild flavour means you can use it with beef, pork, seafood, poultry, eggs, or in vegetarian dishes, according to your tastes and dietary requirements. Once cooked (usually steamed, baked or roasted), the flesh separates into strands, hence the name "spaghetti".


Spaghetti squash's nutrient profile means it has benefits for:

  • eyesight

  • lung health

  • immune system function

  • cardiovascular health and

  • electrolyte balance.
