Low in fat, butternut squash contains significant amounts of dietary fiber, making it an exceptionally heart-friendly choice.

Importantly, the squash is very rich in beta-carotene (which your body automatically converts to vitamin A), which has been shown to protect against breast cancer and age-related macular degeneration, among other health benefits. If that was not enough, a single cup serving provides nearly 50% of the daily recommended dose of vitamin C.
