Extend vegetable season with squash and zucchini

Squash and zucchini extend the summer vegetable season and are available in your garden or local farmers market through October.

“Squash and zucchini are versatile, healthy vegetables,” explains Janet McCann, a registered dietitian and nutritionist at Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. “They are high in fiber, antioxidants, nutrients and vitamins. Both have few calories and no fat, so add them to your favorite recipes, or try a new side dish to get an extra healthy boost.”
