Winter Squash is low in calories and a good source of dietary fiber. These squashes are an excellent source of vitamin A and a great source of vitamin C, potassium and manganese.
Winter Squash is also a good source of folate, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin B3 and vitamin B5. In addition, Winter Squash provides iron and beta carotene (the darker the skin, the higher the beta carotene content).
