Butternut Squash
Cucurbita moschata
Autumn's first messenger: under its cream-colored skin hides a bright orange, sweet and velvety flesh.
Why now?
An investment in eye health
Exceptionally rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A to support vision. The more vivid the orange, the more concentrated it is.
Filling but light
High in fibre, low in calories — it slows digestion and keeps you full for hours. A satisfying option that doesn't feel heavy as the seasons turn.
A potassium powerhouse
Can contain even more potassium than a banana. Helps regulate blood pressure and supports heart health.
Immune support from within
Its vitamin C and antioxidants give the immune system a boost during the seasonal shift — exactly what the body needs as the weather turns cooler.
