paper, agrees that Hubbaids are
probably US best for pics.
Pumpkins and squash are touted
as great sources of Vitamin A. You
can’t tell from the external appear
ance of pumpkin or squash which
contains more Vitamin A, but
research shows that one cup of
cooked and mashed acorn squash
contributes 2,700 Hi’s of Vitamin
A; the same amount of a Butternut
squash contains 13,120 Ill’s, and a
Hubbard squash has a little over
10.000 lU’s. An orange pumpkin
has 2,650 Ill’s of Vitamin A.
Squash is classified as either
winter or summer squash. Winter
squash, such as Hubbard or butter
nut squash, has a tough, hard skin
that is never eaten. Winter squash
tastes a good bit like sweet pota
toes and may be substituted for
them. Summer squash such as zuc
chini or basic yellow squash has
soft skin and lots of seeds, both of
which may eaten with the flesh of
the squash.
Acorn squash is a hard-skinned
squash available from fall to early
spring. Because of its bland flavor,
it is ideal to stuff.
Here are some of the different
varieties and a brief description of
them.
