Market Highlight: Acorn Squash!
Let's show some love for this nutrient-packed veggie! Acorn squash is rich in nutrients, such as fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium. It also contains many beneficial plant compounds, including carotenoid antioxidants that can support wellness. This hardy winter squash is a great addition to your healthy lifestyle, and it's sweet, nutty flavor means that eating well can also be super tasty! Cut in half, remove seeds, and roast with your favorite seasonings for a delish side dish, or fill with cooked grains or meat for a filling meal. Kapnick Farms and Nemeth Greenhouse both have this colorful beauty available this week!
