At their prime from October through November, they are a good option to replace carbohydrates, to add antioxidants, and to get your source of\u00a0carotenoids &#8211; that is, vitamin A.<\/p>\n<p>Winter squash have a longer shelf life than summer squash (think zucchini) so they are also ideal for an unexpected dinner at home or party of four instead of, say one, or as a gluten free base that will leave everyone feeling full. When choosing your squash, look for ones that are firm, have dull rinds (as opposed to shiny\/glossy) and that are &#8220;heavy for their size.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Untitled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7964\" title=\"Untitled-1\" src=\"http:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Untitled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Untitled-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Untitled-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Untitled-1-451x300.jpg 451w, https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Untitled-1-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Originally grown in South America, squash has traveled the globe, and is used in a variety of ways, from soup to salad to seeds, from pasta to pie.
