Description

Butternut squash flavoring is a concentrated extract that captures the characteristic sweet, smooth, and slightly nutty taste of butternut squash. This ingredient is used in cooking to enhance both sweet and savory recipes, providing an autumnal and comforting touch without the need to use fresh squash.

Butternut squash is native to North America and belongs to the cucurbit family. It is prized for its orange, creamy flesh and its sweet, nutty flavor, which makes it an ideal base for soups, purées, breads, and desserts.

Among its nutritional properties, butternut squash is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, providing benefits for eye health, the immune system, and digestion.

In the context of Latin American cuisine, butternut squash is also known as calabaza moscada or calabaza cacahuate in some regions, although the most common term is simply butternut.

Butternut squash flavoring is a versatile option for fall and winter recipes, ideal for enhancing the flavor of pies, muffins, creams, and baking mixes.
