SPAGHETTI SQUASH - Cucurbita pepo var. pepo - 5 Seeds

Spaghetti squash is a versatile, nutrient-dense winter squash known for its unique flesh that naturally separates into long, pasta-like strands when cooked. It is a popular low-calorie, low-carb, and gluten-free alternative to traditional pasta or rice. 
A healthy, whole-food option packed with essential vitamins and minerals. A one-cup (155-gram) serving contains approximately 42 calories and 10 grams of carbohydrates, making it significantly lighter than regular pasta. 
It is an excellent source of beta-carotene (which the body converts to vitamin A), vitamin C, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), vitamin B6, niacin, manganese, and potassium.
It provides over 2 grams of fiber per serving, which supports digestive health and promotes a feeling of fullness.
Rich in antioxidants like beta-carotene and vitamin C, it helps protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals. 
The squash has a mild, slightly nutty, and subtly sweet flavor that easily absorbs the flavors of accompanying ingredients. When cooked, its texture is tender yet slightly crunchy, resembling angel hair pasta. 
Whole, uncut spaghetti squash can last for 3 to 6 months when stored in a cool, dry place. Once cut, it should be wrapped and refrigerated, and used within a few days. 
Spaghetti squash is incredibly versatile and can be cooked in various ways, including baking, roasting, steaming, boiling, or microwaving. 
Its most common use is as a replacement for noodles in a wide range of pasta dishes. It pairs well with marinara sauce and meatballs, Alfredo sauce, pesto, or a simple drizzle of olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
The hollowed-out shells make excellent edible "bowls" that can be stuffed with various fillings such as ground meat, vegetables, cheese, chili, or a burrito bowl mix, and then baked.
