FYI - there are several health benefits of butternut squash. These gourds are high in Vitamin A and B-complex. They have no saturated fats or cholesterol and are a rich source of dietary fiber. They are also great for controlling your cholesterol and weight. Read more about their benefits here: http://www.nutrition-and-you.com/butternut-squash.html
TIP: Save the seeds! Butternut squash seeds are also really high in fiber! Wash them thoroughly after scooping them out of the squash and roast them (try my roasted pumpkin seed recipe with these seeds, use whatever spice you like!)
