PREFACE:-
In the broadest sense, the word “vegetable” refers to any kind of plant life or plant product. Under general terms it means the fresh edible portion of an herbaceous plant that is consumed either raw or cooked. By legal definition, vegetable is a plant or plant part that is usually consumed with the main course of a meal, while those mainly used as desserts are considered fruits. Thus, while cucumbers and tomatoes are botanically fruits, they are still considered vegetables.
Most vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories. None has cholesterol. They are an important source of potassium, dietary fiber, folate (folic acid), vitamin A, C, E, D, and K as wells as essential minerals needed for good health. As our knowledge increases and the availability of these uncommon fruits and vegetables become more extensive, the produce consumer of the 21st Century will have a never-before-known diversity of produce.
TODAY'S TOPIC ABOUT SQUASH KABOCHA......
Squash Kabocha:
(C. maxima - moschata) Kabocha is the generic Japanese word for squash and also a specific marketing name used in the United States. The kabocha is a somewhat flattened, very sweet, buttercup type squash, 2 to 7 pounds in weight, with deep yellow-orange flesh that is very dense and non-fibrous. Its skin color varies from mottled dark green all over, to mostly dark green, variegated with areas of orange and yellow. Japanese squashes are noted for their superior flavor and richness. When baked or steamed, they have a balanced flavor of the sweet potato and pumpkin. The kabocha squash is chunked, baked, steamed, braised, puréed or used for deep-fried tempura. It is a superb addition to soups and stews and makes great-tasting pies, cakes and puddings. Kabocha squash is usually available year-round and found in most large food stores.
