This kind is a great source of beta-carotene and vitamin C, both of which function as antioxidants in your body. Antioxidants assist in preventing cell deterioration, which may delay the onset of several chronic illnesses. For instance, a diet strong in vitamin C may guard against heart disease, while a diet high in beta carotene is linked to a decreased risk of some malignancies, including lung cancer. The flavor of butternut squash is sweet and earthy. Although it may be eaten in many other ways, roasting is the most common. It is widely chosen for infant food and is regularly used in soups. In contrast to other winter squash cultivars, butternut squash may be eaten raw or cooked.
