We hear time and again that the majority of our macro- and micronutrients, from cups of carbs to milligrams of manganese, should come from the foods we eat. Eating more orange and red vegetables, such as acorn squash, is one way to round out your nutrient intake. Turns out, acorn squash is a nutritional powerhouse with a warming nature and an impressive profile of vitamins and minerals. Acorn squash delivers:
- Plenty of fiber—helps with healthy digestion, nutrient absorption and blood sugar levels†
- Beta-carotene—an antioxidant for healthy aging, also great for eyes and skin†
- Folate—key for metabolism of amino acids & balancing homocysteine levels†
- Vitamin C—supports immune function and fights inflammation†
- Magnesium—supports bone and muscle health†
- Potassium—known to support healthy blood pressure†
This filling, sweet-and-savory dish has one additional power ingredient. Each serving includes a dose of New Chapter’s Fermented Black Seed Booster Powder, a treasured superfood in highly digestible form. It supports healthy mood, helps with occasional stress relief and supports memory.†
