During the cooler months, local farmers markets are bursting with brightly colored, flavorful and nutrient-dense winter squash varieties. Members of the winter squash family are naturally low in fat and calories, but are hearty enough to keep you full. Butternut squash, in particular, is packed with vitamins B6, C and E and more vitamin A than most people need in a day.
