Yellow Squash

Yellow Squash

EverydayFresh

Yellow squash is a summer squash variety characterized by its smooth, sun-yellow skin and slightly curved shape with a tapered neck and bulbous end. This low-calorie vegetable contains minimal carbohydrates and notable hydration value due to its high water content, while providing vitamin C and manganese. Its tender flesh and edible skin adapt well to raw preparations, grilling, or sautéing, offering a mild, slightly sweet flavor that distinguishes it from the more earthy taste of green zucchini.
