I’ve been growing these for the first time this year and I’ll have to say I’m a huge fan. I’m enjoying finding new recipes that use this versatile squash. I love how easy it is to grow too. I grow this in my rotation of the four types so I can save seed w/o cross pollination problems. I like blue Hubbard and Zucchini Rampicante as well as delicata. They have the bonus of less pest pressure too (zucchini Rampicante being the most resistant to pests and the most prolific producer as well as working well as both a summer and winter squash). I’m going to see if the butternut is frost tolerant soon! Here in Texas I don’t get frost until most likely almost early December. Maybe I can get a couple more squash before then. 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks for the good nutritional information about Butternut. I have a question: Since the process of cooking it, reduces some of it's nutritional values, is safe if one blends it as smoothie and drinks it raw? Jimmy Tu.
great video. i love squash soup. im also interested in anti inflammation and skin since im getting older. but i think the affordability graph at the end was imperfect. sugar and flower are at the bottom when they are actually the cheapest things at the store.
How many micrograms is an IU of vitamin a? Also, Vitamin A is confusing. According to Cronometer I am taking in 3,105ug of Vitamin A but how much is that in IU? Sweet potato and Kale are my largest contributors.
The conversion between International Units (IU) and micrograms (mcg) for vitamin A depends on the form of vitamin A in question. Here are the conversions: 1. Retinol (preformed vitamin A): - 1 IU is equivalent to 0.3 mcg of retinol. 2. Beta-carotene (from dietary supplements): - 1 IU is equivalent to 0.15 mcg of beta-carotene from supplements. 3. Beta-carotene (from food): - 1 IU is equivalent to 0.05 mcg of beta-carotene from food. 4. Mixed carotenoids (from food): - 1 IU is equivalent to 0.05 mcg of mixed carotenoids from food. If you're looking to convert IU of a specific vitamin A source to mcg, you'll need to know which form of vitamin A you're dealing with and then apply the appropriate conversion factor. Hope this helps.
I wish I were not allergic to cucurbits. I thought my reaction to them was weird (facial numbness), but I was reading the Corn Allergy Girl Blog (because I also have a corn allergy) and she had similar issues with cucurbits. I'm a bit worried about how similar our allergy symptoms are since she went from having mostly skin rashes in response to corn - which is what happens to me - to having anaphylaxis. I didn't realize it could get worse after being stable for a while. My favorite squash variety was delicata - but that is C. pepo, not C. moschata. Seems like the most commonly eaten squashes are C. pepo.
@@fruits4584 Unfortunately, I can't even cut up watermelon for my family without a bit of a reaction. I might try making quick pickled cucumber using white wine vinegar; sometimes acid can neutralize allergens.
I wish I knew. I'm not even sure if the reaction is due to cross-reactivity with corn allergen or if it is due to mast cell activation syndrome. To complicate things further, Corn Allergy Girl has questioned whether corn allergy is due entirely to reaction with the corn protein zein or if people also react to carbohydrate epitopes (bits of the molecule that makes a pattern that is recognized by the immune system) and I think it might be a possibility. So the reaction to cucurbits might be due to cross-reactivity with a similar carbohydrate found in corn. Humans have antibodies to carbohydrate epitopes (called cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCD)), but they are not supposed to cause allergic reactions and allergy tests are designed to ignore these antibodies. I have wondered what would happen if something went wrong in whatever mechanisms the body uses to ignore CCD antibodies. According to one paper, "The role of CCDs and their specific IgE antibodies in the pathophysiology of allergic diseases is controversial. "@@fruits4584
IIRC Steve Gundry has said that eating squash can increase LDL in women. Is there any truth to that? I can't find anything on it, and I don't want to buy his books to check for references.
I tried doing some literature searches, but everything I've turned up so far points in the opposite direction. Everything from bitter melon extract to cucumber juice improves lipid profiles in women/female mice, rats etc. It's not always possible to judge based on whether someone has something to sell. Dr Joel Fuhrman has some very good information - he sells supplements and his forum is paywalled. I've learned some of the most valuable things about health (e.g., ergothioneine) from Fuhrman. Then there's the NO guy, Dr Nathan Bryan, who has been featured on this channel - he founded HumanN. Even Dr Zach Bush has a supplement line, ION, which I have found beneficial. Everyone needs to make a living and I think people with good ideas should be rewarded financially. Unfortunately, a lot of people with what turn out to be bad ideas get rewarded in our system (e.g., pesticide & pharma company execs). @@janefreeman995
Hallo, in your this video I was listening about benefits of butternut squash which is one of my favourite vegetables. When I was listening my 👁️ focus on your beautiful face, you are a pretty 😍. As I am an artist so my eyes and mind coaches beauty first. I am an Indian background woman. 🙏🇨🇦 Bye Zz, April 24.🌹

Wow thanks for sharing. I have to try growing the Zucchini Rampicante - might be great here in Hawaii. 👍
@DerekSarnoChef sent me here to learn!
Thanks for the new recipes dude-Chef! ✌🏽Really delicious stuff!
Give Franky some pets for us! 🐕
Excellent super food . You have decribed and definitely putting this into my diet from now

Trying to find healthy plant foods low in oxalate is hard, butternut squash is one of those!
Great information! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

but i think the affordability graph at the end was imperfect. sugar and flower are at the bottom when they are actually the cheapest things at the store.
I made some today for the first time, mixed it with little water heavy cream, little spices taste very good
Thank you
Thank you very much. Excellent presentation
Butternut squash is my favorite .

21.5 g of carbs for 1.8 g of protein. Neither were mentioned.
Do you eat the seeds in any way?
I actually saved the seeds to replant them. But you definitely could toast them and eat them or use them as a topping on your meals.
yes! if you roast your squash in the oven you can simply add the seeds on the pan and let them roast too. they are delicious.
Wow That’s crazy

Hello, I am sorry to read this. Does it also happen to you with Melons and Cucumbers ?

@@rhyothemisprinceps1617 omg, what is the substance found in cucurbits that cause you to have this ?

He has too much to sell to be taken seriously. I would take anything he says with a grain of salt. ....
