CALABAZA

# Calabaza - Fresh Winter Squash Discover the rich, naturally sweet flavor of fresh calabaza, a versatile winter squash that brings authentic Caribbean and Latin American cuisine to your kitchen. Calabaza is a large, round squash with golden-orange flesh and a slightly nutty, earthy taste that's perfect for both savory and sweet dishes. This nutrient-dense produce option is loaded with vitamins A and C, fiber, and potassium, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious cooking. The dense, creamy texture of calabaza becomes wonderfully tender when roasted, boiled, or sautéed, making it ideal for soups, stews, purees, and traditional Latin American recipes. Whether you're preparing traditional Caribbean calabaza soup, Puerto Rican alcapurrias, or Mexican calabaza con pollo, this winter squash delivers authentic flavors that transport your meals to sunny tropical regions. Calabaza's culinary applications extend far beyond traditional ethnic cooking. Roast cubed calabaza with olive oil and seasonings for a delicious side dish, or add it to curries, risottos, and grain bowls for added nutrition and natural sweetness. The squash pairs beautifully with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cumin, and complements both coconut milk and savory broths. For baking enthusiasts, calabaza puree works wonderfully in pies, bread, and desserts as a healthier alternative to pumpkin. Simply peel the thick skin with a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, remove the seeds, and cut into manageable pieces before cooking. Store your fresh calabaza in a cool, dark place for several weeks or in the refrigerator for extended freshness. One medium calabaza can feed a family of four, offering exceptional value and versatility.
