Acorn squash is a type of winter squash with firm flesh and a ridged skin. The figures here describe it raw. It mainly provides water and carbohydrate, with small amounts of protein and fat. Per 100g, it provides 167 kJ of energy, 9g of carbohydrate, 350mg of potassium and 11mg of vitamin C.
Carbohydrate provides energy, while potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Raw acorn squash contains little salt or fat, although added ingredients can change the nutritional content of a prepared dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
