A: While
there are many varieties of winter squash (acorn, butternut, spaghetti
and pumpkin, to name a few), all are a great source of vitamins A and
C, potassium, fiber and omega-3 fats (“good fats”). Vitamins A, C and
omega-3s are especially important to get during the colder months,
since they promote healthy skin and a healthy immune system. These
vegetables have a long storage life – up to six months – so stock up
now for healthy meals, all winter long!
