Instead, we want to lighten what is a classically heavy meal and provide you with vegetable-forward dishes that offer lots of nutrition, and even more flavor. Even though they may be root vegetable or squash dishes, they are still much lighter than fattening sides you usually see at the table.

Everyone loves fries, not matter if they are shoestring, crinkle cut, waffle-shaped, or thick cut. Fries from fast food establishments, however, are typically fried in unhealthy oils and then overly salted. If you want to enjoy fries and get more nutrients out of this classic side dish, you need a recipe like this one. You can easily transform the butternut squash into fries! Baked butternut fries are paleo-friendly, vegan, gluten-free, and wonderfully crisp on the outside and pillowy on the inside.

Similar to sweet potato fries, butternut fries are inherently sweeter than your standard potato. To balance that sweetness, add savory spices and seasonings. Butternut squash and thyme are a classic pairing, and you cannot forget the sea salt, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder. Butternut squash contains a lot of fiber and is much lower in calories than potatoes. Plus, they offer lots of vitamin A, vitamin C, and magnesium. As long as you don’t burn the fries to a crisp, you’l be able to reap their health benefits.

Now, to ensure an optimal crispy exterior, you dust the butternut fries with corn starch. Let them sit in the corn starch for about 10 minutes and then shake off excess before seasoning. Once you season the fries, scatter them across a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, toss to coat, and then bake in the oven. You have to keep an eye on the fries to ensure that they cook evenly. Ideally, flip halfway through and then you can broil them for about five minutes at the end to crisp them up. Best served with a lemon garlic sauce (click here for recipe).

The post 7 Types Of Winter Squash And Their Health Benefits appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

It’s that time of year when winter squash varieties appear at farmers’ markets or on grocery store shelves. Squash fall into two categories: winter and summer. The category they fall into depends on whether they’re harvested and consumed when they are immature or fully developed. Winter squash varieties include butternut, acorn, kabocha, and Delicata, to name a few. 

When mature, winter squash have a hard exterior (rind) that protects them from the elements, such as frost, snow, wind, and rain. That is why they are ideal for long-term storage. The squash you acquire will dictate the type of dish you can make with it. Some squash varieties, such as spaghetti squash, can be the star of the show, while others work for appetizers or sides. Continue reading to learn about some excellent winter squash that exhibit impressive health properties

Spaghetti Squash

Trying to avoid pasta? Spaghetti squash is a great alternative that offers much more nutrients than packaged pasta. When you cook spaghetti squash, the flesh takes on a stringy texture, which resembles noodles. It is much lower in carbs than other squash in this list, providing just 29.9 grams of carbs per cup. Additionally, spaghetti squash offers B vitamins, vitamin C, manganese, and fiber, but is lower in nutrients when compared to butternut or acorn squash varieties. 

Kabocha Squash

The kabocha squash, or Japanese pumpkin, has a dark green exterior and bright orange flesh that is surprisingly sweet. You can roast, steam, or boil kabocha squash and add it to stews, soups, baked goods, and even salads. Because of its inherent sweetness, kabocha squash is a common ingredient in sweet dishes like pies and cakes. Nothing beats a savory kabocha squash winter soup, though! Kabocha squash exhibits impressive antioxidant activity, being high in vitamins A and C. It is also a great source of potassium, calcium, beta-carotene, and fiber.

Blue Hubbard Squash

Quite an interesting name for a squash, don’t you think? This unique winter squash has a beautiful bluish-green rind and sweet, yellow flesh that is rich in fiber, potassium, vitamins A and C, and other nutrients. One cup of this squash provides 10 grams of fiber, which satisfies 35% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of fiber. Eating more fiber helps promote digestive health, regulating bowel movements and fueling the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. 

Acorn Squash

The acorn squash belongs to the same plant family as zucchini, pumpkins, and butternut squash. Shaped like an acorn, this squash can vary in color, with the exterior ranging from white to dark green. The flesh is yellow-orange and offers a slightly sweet yet nutty flavor, making it great for fall and winter dishes. Acorn squash is a great source of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds, including alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, and zeaxanthin, all of which work to fight oxidative stress. Finally, acorn squash is rich in vitamins A and C, some B vitamins, potassium, and magnesium. 

Delicata Squash

The Delicata squash isn’t quite as popular as acorn or butternut squash, but it does have a naturally sweet flavor. The flavor is very similar to that of the pie pumpkin, but it has a thin, tender skin, making it easy to peel. It is low in calories and rich in potassium, making it a great food for people who aim to control blood pressure. One cup of Delicata squash provides 13% of the RDI of potassium. Delicata squash is also highly versatile and a great source of complex carbohydrates. 

Butternut Squash

Butternut squash is one of the most popular types of winter squash, exhibiting a sweet, nutty flavor. Packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and protective plant compounds, butternut squash needs to be on your fall and winter grocery list. One cup of cooked butternut squash provides 100% of the RDI of vitamin A, and over 30% of the RDI of vitamin C. Both of these vitamins act as antioxidants, working to neutralize free radicals in the body. That process helps protect cells against damage that may potentially cause disease. In addition to the vitamins A and C, butternut squash contains potassium, manganese, magnesium, and plant pigments. 

Red Kuri Squash

This type of Hubbard winter squash is quite striking and has an interesting tear-drop shape with a vibrant reddish-orange exterior. The flesh is highly sweet and packs a serious nutritional punch, offering lots of vitamins A and C, and minerals like potassium. The skin becomes very tender and edible when you thoroughly cook this squash, making it very easy to handle. It is a common ornamental squash for common decor, but don’t forget that you can eat it too!

Vegan Kabocha Squash Soup https://www.dherbs.com/recipes/recipe/vegan-kabocha-squash-soup/ Wed, 11 Oct 2023 18:00:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?post_type=recipe&p=163850

This perfectly creamy kabocha squash soup is rich, satisfying, and packs a little kick from the ginger and cayenne pepper.

It’s rare to enjoy a soup that fills you up. This vegan kabocha squash soup has a luxuriously creamy texture that keeps you coming back, spoonful after spoonful. It truly ticks all the boxes, and the best part (besides the addictive flavor) is that it comes together in just 30 minutes. Just keep in mind that cutting the kabocha squash will prove challenging and we suggest you sharpen your knife and proceed with caution.

Peeling and chopping a kabocha squash, or similar squash for that matter, is a challenge in and of itself. If you prefer not to handle that labor intensive process, you may be able to find pre-cut pumpkin or some squash variety at your local grocery store. Kabocha squash has a thick skin that you cannot peel with a regular peeler, so you have to cut it off with your knife. It looks like a smaller green pumpkin that tastes a little sweeter than butternut squash. That’s why it is the perfect squash to balance out the intensity from the cayenne pepper and ginger.

One of the cooler aspects of kabocha squash is that it has a lower glycemic load than sweet potato and pumpkin, so it won’t spike your blood sugar. It is a rich source of beta-carotene, which is a precursor to vitamin A, a nutrient that benefits the skin, eyes, immune system, and more. Finally, kabocha squash provides lots of vitamin C and small amounts of calcium, B-vitamins, potassium, iron, and magnesium. That means this soup is both highly delicious and nutritious. You won’t regret making it!

Is there anything better than a warm bowl of comforting soup during a crisp autumn evening? A relaxing massage on a tropical beach might rival the bowl of soup, but just imagine that it isn’t for the sake of our argument. The ingredients in that bowl of soup, though, can either benefit or harm your health. Fortunately for you, the soups in this article are made from whole food ingredients and free of preservatives, excess sodium, added flavors, and unhealthy fats. 

There are many different soups, yet people tend to stick to a few classics: chicken noodle, tomato, or minestrone. If you purchase these soups in their canned form, chances are they are riddled with sodium, saturated fat, and processed ingredients. If you tend to enjoy soup when you are sick, you don’t want to put harmful ingredients in the body. In order to recover more quickly, the body requires nutritious foods that contain essential vitamins and minerals. The antioxidants in vegetables can help fight inflammation and get you on the mend more quickly than a can of beef stew.

7 Melons To Try While They’re In Season https://www.dherbs.com/articles/7-melons-to-try-while-theyre-in-season/ Thu, 17 Aug 2023 09:32:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?p=162233

Most people are familiar with the classics, but what about other melons that have a limited season and offer impressive health benefits?

The post 7 Melons To Try While They’re In Season appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, and cherries are classic summer fruits, but you can’t forget about melons. Perfectly sweet and ripe for the eating, melons also get their time in the spotlight during the summer months. They may not seem like summer fruits because you can always find watermelons, cantaloupes, and honeydews in stores year round. Visit a grocery store that features seasonal items or a farmer’s market and you’ll find melons in great supply. 

We’re confident in saying that there are many melons you’ve never tried or heard of in your life. Melon mania is here and your window of opportunity is closing to enjoy these water-rich, nutrient dense fruits. Melons belong to the same botanical family as cucumbers, squash, and gourds. Unlike zucchini and cucumbers, melons are very sweet, especially when ripe. We detail more melon facts below. 

Melons 101

Melons are fragrant, juicy, and incredibly sweet. They have a long history of being staple fruits in many cultures, and they fall into two species:

  • Cucumis melo, which includes cantaloupes, honeydews, and muskmelons
  • Citrullus lanatus, also known as watermelons, which includes yellow watermelons and sugar babies (these look like watermelons but differ slightly)

There are unique varieties that reveal themselves at farmers markets and local grocery stores during peak season. How do you pick the perfect melon, though? Well, put your ear to the melon and listen for the ocean’s song. No, don’t do that. To judge the ripeness of a watermelon, tap it and listen for a dull “plunk” sound. For honeydews and winter melons, the blossom end should give when you apply a little pressure. Finally, smell muskmelons and cantaloupes to take note of a strong fruity aroma. 

Summer Kiss Melons

Summer Kiss melons have a distinctive color, but the flavor is a bit more subdued than other melons. It looks like a cantaloupe on the outside, but the flesh is nearly identical to the flesh of honeydew, only the center has an orange hue. It is very creamy and rich and works as a refreshing snack, but you can incorporate it into smoothies, salsas, and summer fruit salads.

Santa Claus Melons

Christmas in July? It is when this melon shows up in the kitchen! Sometimes referred to as piel de sapo (toadskin), Santa Claus melons resemble small watermelons that are a bit more oblong in shape. They have gold or bright yellow stripes that break up the green. The brighter the yellow stripes, the riper the melon. The flesh is similar to honeydew, only it is a bit more pale green or mild yellow.

Hami Melons

Native to China, the Hami melon is oblong just like the aforementioned Santa Claus melon, only a bit smaller. It belongs to the muskmelon family and tastes very similar to a cantaloupe, only the flavor profile is sweeter and the flesh is crispier. To help balance the sweetness, squeeze a lime wedge over the fruit when you eat it fresh.

Yellow Watermelons

Yes, the flesh of this watermelon is really yellow! If you want to enjoy this as a thirst-quenching treat (given that watermelons are 92% water), chill it for a few hours prior to serving. Depending on the variety, yellow watermelons range from small to large, weighing as little as six pounds or more than 20 pounds. 

Casaba Melons

This melon may look more like a winter squash than a refreshing summer melon, but don’t judge this tasty fruit by its exterior. Casaba melons have a bright yellow rind, which can look somewhat wrinkled or withered. The flesh is a similar color to that of a honeydew, but it is incredibly sweet and creamy. A lot of people agree that the flavor is more mild and reminiscent of a cucumber. 

Crenshaw Melons

This melon has made a name for itself because it is one of the sweetest varieties available. It ripens from midsummer to early autumn and tends to weigh anywhere from eight to 10 pounds. The Crenshaw melon has a pink-orange flesh that is very thick and an aroma that will blow you away. It goes great with savory and salty flavors. 

Golden Honeydew Melons

Have you ever opened a bag of chips and realized that most of the bag was just air? You won’t be disappointed like that when you open a golden honeydew melon. It has a small cavity, which means that you get to enjoy more fruit! Look for a slight opening at the blossom end to detect when they’re ripe.

Roasted root vegetables can be an incredible side dish. It’s often a colorful medley ingredients, including squash, potatoes, onion, carrots, garlic, turnips, parsnips, or beets. While this soup doesn’t use all of those ingredients, it does use a few winter staples, some of which exhibit impressive antioxidant properties. In fact, three of the ingredients in this soup are excellent sources of beta-carotene!

Although we have a list of ingredients, you can take a little creative liberty with your root veggies. We don’t recommend using beets because they will turn your soup red quickly. The combination of sweet potatoes, butternut squash, carrots, and parsnips is quite tasty and the ingredients complement one another. If you want your soup to be more peppery, swap out the parsnips for some turnips. Just make sure that you always include red onion in the roasting pan, in addition to the onion you’ll sauté for the the soup base.

After the vegetables are nicely charred and fork tender, you’ll need to transfer them to a blender, along with your soup base. Now, if you have an immersion blender, you can pour the roasted vegetables into the large pot with your soup base and blend that way. Choose your own destiny, but make sure to savor the flavors along the way!

A traditional Thanksgiving dinner isn’t the epitome of health. In fact, it is the antithesis of health, and gorging oneself into a food coma is the ultimate goal.

Cranberries are not only reserved for cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving. You can impart the sweet-tart cranberry flavor into myriad recipes! From snacks and appetizers to entrees, desserts, and more, cranberries find their way into unique fall and winter favorites. Since they are only available for a short while, get your hands on them to make some of the recipes in this article.

Cranberries primarily consist of carbs and fiber, but they are also 90% water. They are some of the best sources of antioxidants, which work to fight free radicals. The most common health benefit associated with cranberries is the fact that they may help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). A-type proanthocyanidins prevent the binding of E. coli in the bladder, a common first step in getting an infection. If you usually develop UTIs, you may want to incorporate fresh cranberries, or fresh cranberry juice, into your diet. This is an excellent proactive approach to living a healthier lifestyle. 

The same A-type proanthocyanidins, which only exist in cranberries, that reduce the risk of UTIs also reduce bad bacteria in the gut. More research is necessary, but preliminary research shows that cranberries promote optimal digestive health. Lastly, and then we will provide you with the recipes, the certain antioxidant compounds in cranberries may exhibit anti-cancer properties. Needless to say, cranberries are superfoods that deserve a featured spot in your diet.
