Organic Delicata Squash

Keep an eye out for our organic delicata squash harvested fresh this week by Robin Song Farms in Templeton. Robin Song Farms aims to produce nutritious, organic food using natural processes to enhance the nutrient profiles of their food and soil while minimizing their ecological footprint. Check out their website to learn more about their sustainable farming practices!

Delicata squash is often classed in the winter squash family but is technically a summer squash due to its extra tender and edible skin. Because this skin is so tender, it’s more permeable to trace pesticides which is why we’re offering an organically harvested squash for this week’s harvest. Delicata’s have a slightly sweet flavor and dense texture, often compared to the flavor profiles of a sweet potato. When roasted, the natural sugars in the squash slightly caramelize as the water is drawn out in the cooking process. This caramelization yields a sweeter, richer flavor without posing any risk of raising its glycemic index. In fact, delicata’s are low on the glycemic scale as they are packed full of fiber. In just one cup of this squash, there are 9 grams of carbs and 4 grams of fiber which will help to keep you full and fueled throughout the day. This fiber is beneficial as our bodies take a longer time breaking down the natural sugars and gradually release them throughout the day. Delicata’s also contain iron which our body uses to distribute oxygen to our tissues to combat fatigue and help our cells grow and develop. The yellow color of squash is an indicator of its high levels of vitamin A and C which helps with protecting our eyesight immune boosting function.
