Look for winter squash on this month's Menu
Winter squash are a great source of potassium and vitamin A as well as vitamin C, folic acid and copper.
Winter squash are harvested in the fall and can be stored and enjoyed over the winter months. Although we often associate these vegetables with the fall, squash will taste sweeter if it has some time to "cure" after being harvested, making it a great addition to our winter meals.
