In this post, I don’t have a recipe to share with you. I will write one in my next post.
Recently, I came across this unique fruit in Wikipedia, which is called TURBAN SQUASH. It is a member of the squash variety, and being a squash, it is thus not far from the pumpkin and zucchini family too.
We don’t have turban squash in Malaysia and personally I haven’t seen one in the supermarkets either, though there are some other imported varieties.
I find this squash to be so beautifully crafted, colored and perhaps deliciously flavored too…yum yum :) I thought I must share this beauty with my friends and call upon any of you who knows how to cook “turban squash” to please do guest post recipe for me.
For that, I will have back links with your blog and will give a special mention about you, your blog and your URL in the post. I don’t like to have too many back links, so I am very choosy on this- in my books, you are very lucky if selected. Excessive back links will drown your URL
Please let me know in my comment box on your interest to participate or suggestions on how to cook this exotic fruit. You can also email your recipe right away by using my email form at “CONTACT”, on the above Tab menu. Of course, I will need some photos too. Just can’t wait to get your respond on this. Would be so much fun getting a variety of recipes from all of you. I will select 5 recipes to be published.
Turban squash is categorized as a winter squash and can be harvested whenever the fruits have turned a deep, solid color and the skin is hard. Most of the crop is harvested before heavy frosts hit the planting area
Winter squash is a low-calorie and a good source of complex vegetable carbohydrates
It is an excellent source of vitamin A, a great source of vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber and manganese, and a good source of folate, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin B1 (thiamin), copper, tryptophan, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B3 (niacin) and vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid).
It is also a source of niacin, iron and beta carotene. Usually, the darker the skin is, the higher the beta carotene content
