Squash, Butternut

Squash, Butternut (Squash, Butternut) Butternut squash are delicious and highly nutritious.  We enjoy them split and baked (see recipe).  Served with a salad, baked butternut squash often are the main course of our meal.  We also like to toast the seeds (see recipe).  Select butternut squash that are firm and free of cuts or blemishes.  The photo of the split butternut squash (left) shows its bright orange colored interior.  See the nutritional chart and recipe suggestions below.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
