winter squash and squash seeds

[Guest guest]

Yesterday's Washington Post food section had a good article on cooking

squash. Of interest was the information on the squash seeds which

apparently are very healthy and contain the elusive Vit E:

" Winter squash are nutritional powerhouses, packed with beta carotene,

potassium, iron, folic acid and dietary fiber......

Just like pumpkin seeds, squash seeds can be tossed with oil, and seasoning

and roasted in the the oven for a nutritious snack. They're a good source

of protein, calcium, iron, Vitamin E and essential fatty acids "

And this on cooking squash: " pureed they add color and depth to mashed

potatoes and soups, muffins, scones and yeasted breads. But they are often

best baked slowly so that their natural sugars caramelize. "
